November is flying by! Somehow we’re already talking Thanksgiving plans, and we’re feeling extra thankful for the people who make LA feel like home. Whether that’s your longtime besties or the girls you met on a dance floor last weekend, there’s always room at the chosen family table.

And this year, we’re taking the gathering to El Cid! BBGRL: GRLSGIVING brings the sapphic community together on Friday, 11/27, for a night of dancing, fashion pop-ups, tarot readings, and celebrating the family we choose. Round up your girls or come solo and meet a few new faces. We’re giving away tickets, so enter to win your way in!
