Hairy Mary's has released the results of its first Sapphic Community Survey, offering new insight into what lesbian, queer, bisexual, pansexual and sapphic-identifying women and non-binary people are looking for from their local LGBTQIA+ venue. The findings revealed a strong desire for more than just dance parties, with respondents calling for genuine connection, greater sapphic representation and a stronger sense of community. The survey highlighted demand for more inclusive social events, community meet-ups, live entertainment and increased visibility of sapphic DJs, performers, drag kings and local artists, helping shape the future direction of sapphic programming on the Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast skyline provided the perfect setting for SKYPRIDE, a sold-out Pride celebration that transformed the SkyPoint Observation Deck into a vibrant showcase of LGBTQIA+ culture, community and entertainment. Held 77 floors above Surfers Paradise, the landmark event was the first of its kind on the Gold Coast, made possible through a unique partnership between Hairy Mary’s owner Steven Fahd and SkyPoint, bringing together one of the city's most iconic attractions with its dedicated LGBTQIA+ venue.

Hairy Mary’s is partnering with SkyPoint Observation Deck to launch SKYPRIDE, a landmark Pride Month event that brings a new celebration to the Gold Coast. The collaboration represents a significant step forward for LGBTQIA+ visibility in the region, with Hairy Mary’s owner Steven Fahd working closely with the SkyPoint team over several months to bring the event to life.
