It was another dazzling night of fun, community revelry and wonderful surprises at the 44th Annual Nicky Awards that took place Sunday night at Point Loma's Courtyard Marriot Liberty Station. 

Attendees were dressed to the nines and posed for photos at the step and repeat before the ceremony got started. 

This week in the news we got word that Chick-Fil-A was going to clear up their image and stop giving money to anti-LGBT charities. Conservatives were not happy and accused the chain of caving to the LGBT bully mob. 

Also this week, the community took time to remember those we have lost in the transgender community for Transgender Day of Remembrance. 

As the holidays get closer, and before going away or having people invade your guest room, take some time for yourself and get out into the community and have some fun!

This week seems to be the one for anniversaries: Flicker turns eight, The Eagle turns 17 and Baja Bettys has come of age at 15!

The time has come for Hillcrest's biggest haunted Halloween dance party and costume competition.

One of the biggest weekends of the year is finally upon us. Although Halloween doesn't officially happen until next Thursday, this week and weekend is packed full of spooktacular entertainment celebrating the season. From costume contests to pool parties to early morning dance celebrations, Hillcrest is coming alive all through the witching hour. 

You have probably met Edward Jaime at one of many places in Hillcrest. He can be seen working at #1 Fifth Avenue and Flicks but you might not recognize him after next Saturday. That's okay, it's for a good cause. 

Long-time readers of San Diego Gay and Lesbian News know that we almost never issue endorsements for political offices.

There was a lo to cover this week in the news. Locally it came to light that some death threats had been made against San Diego Pride, but police were able to apprehend the suspect who they also linked to several bank robberies. 

A popular Chicago drag queen died unexpectedly in the hospital while recovering from a car crash. 

Turning 17 is a special milestone, and this week SDPIX is celebrating that birthday with a special party at Rich's. Developed in 2002 by Johnathan Hale, SDPIX is the quintessential Hillcrest event guide that not only features the best parties and events but also gives the community a hard copy keepsake of fun nights out with friends and family.

San Diego didn't disappoint its residents and visitors this weekend for the 46th annual San Diego Pride festival. The weather cooperated and brought plenty of sunshine and blue skies throughout the weekend.
