Your Ultimate LGBTQ+ Guide to EDC in Orlando
Let's party gays!
The Electric Daisy Carnival is considered the largest electronic dance music festival in North America and the LGBTQ+ community makes up a significant part of the rave community.
EDC is famously known for being so accepting of people from all walks of life thanks to the classic rave motto PLUR, which stands for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Plus, many gays love to dance the night away... so EDC is a safe haven for many in the LGBTQ+ family.
Happening Friday, November 10 to Sunday, November 12, here's a quick guide to living the ultimate gay fantasy at EDC.
EDC thrives on a super inclusive environment that makes everyone feel welcome.
From creative costumes to electrifying stages with music that'll make anyone's heart pump, there's something for everyone. People from all backgrounds can spend the night dancing to their favorite DJs, riding some incredible rides, or simply vibing out with new friends.
The lineup this year includes Zedd, Armin van Buuren, Fisher, Gryffin, Anabel Englund, The Chainsmokers, Alok, and so many more. It's safe to say there's tons of iconic DJ sets in store.
With so many anti-LGBTQ+ bills being introduced in Florida, it's so important that EDC includes a Pride parade during the festival!
Happening on day two, members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies can come together and show their Pride in a unifying parade before partying the rest of the night.
Plus, the representation at EDC is like no other festival. Groups of gays and same-sex couples are running around the grounds ready for an unforgettable weekend.
Even proud members of the LGBTQ+ family go solo and rock their outfits that they can feel comfortable wearing for the first time!
To make EDC even more iconic, couples can get married!
Same-sex marriage is celebrated every year at the huge festival, which is certainly a sight to see. There's nothing quite like a beautiful couple in the LGBTQ+ community tying the knot under the electric sky.
