SAN FRANCISCO—Queer porn performer Courtney Trouble is hosting Queerly Beloved Pride 2023 featuring an internationally-known guest, Peaches.
Queerly Beloved is a dance party and Pride event run by queer femmes and celebrating queer sexuality of all kinds. The event is taking place at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco on June 25. The event includes a line-up of queer and non-binary performers, including headliner Peaches, who is a Toronto-born, Berlin-based musician and performance artist, San Francisco local hip-hop artist Micahtron, and a line-up of seven DJs: Your Muther, Saint Hills, Romy, StanleyFrankSensation, Ethicaldrvgs, DJ Durt, and Siobhan Aluvalot.
Peaches is known for eclectic, provocative electro-clash music, sexually-infused lyrics, and subversive, gender-bending performances. Her breakthrough single, "F—k the Pain Away," from her second album, The Teaches of Peaches (2000), solidified her place among the queer and feminist stars.
Trouble and Peaches have worked together before. Check out their performance together in Peaches' music video "Rub," in which Trouble stars. Watch the "Rub" uncensored music video on Vimeo.
1015 Folsom is a four-story venue with five distinct club rooms. Queerly Beloved has united with seven underground DJs and brought in two queer events, Club Mercy in Los Angeles and VAMP in San Francisco. The Club Mercy pop-up on the bottom floor will feature BDSM, drag, and burlesque by BDSM performer Bettie Bondage, while the VAMP pop-up upstairs will feature strippers and grinding vibes by special guest DJ VAMP resider Saint Hills.
Trouble, who was inspired to host Queerly Beloved in 2009 as a way to create space for queer people to celebrate during San Francisco Pride Week, away from the corporate-sponsored mainstream activities said, "We want to create spaces for others who feel like corporate Pride events can be overwhelming and alienating. Queerly Beloved is run by women and femmes, trans and non-binary people, queer sex workers, QTBIPOC, people of size, and folks of every gender. Hate will not be tolerated!"
