Check out the Gay & Lesbian Community Center at 714 E. Colonial Dr., Orlando,
Mon-Fri 1pm to 9pm, Sat 12 noon-5pm. (407) THE-GAYS.


Five clubs worth checking out:

Mannequins Dance Palace & 8TRAX, Pleasure Island, Disney Village,
Lake Buena Vista. Attracts a large gay crowd on Thursdays.


At the community center, or at any of the clubs, pick up a copy of
The Triangle (a monthly), Contax (weekly), PLS Guide, & The Gayzette
for more info.


If it were me, I'd go to Pleasure Island (Mannequins & 8TRAX) on Thursday;
Parliament House (and see the late show) on Friday; The Club on Saturday;
Southern Nights on Sunday; and find time to check out Tracks if it's open.

Enjoy!
