Weeks into lockdown measures and bored Londoners can scarcely remember the sweat, the sugar and the sweet tunes played in overpriced LGBT+ clubs. “Half of the house also work in frontline or key worker roles so initially, we thought it would be a way for us all to come together and have fun during this stressful time.” And it has reached beyond just the house, it is now doing that for thousands of people across the world, making people feel closer together.ĭigital nightclubs have become the saviour for cooped-up queer folk, many feeling isolated from the community. “What started as a simple idea to create some extra cash during this crisis has turned into something so overwhelmingly beautiful,” Gay said.

The coronavirus pandemic may have upended the London’s nightlife, but Gay is one of countless queer DJs, musicians and club owners showing resilience and ingenuity in a time of crisis. Like any good host, Gay wore a see-through t-shirt and a chain harness to get into the spirit as his five housebound flatmates donned lamé and leather and danced around him.
