Top Drawer is my favorite place in the country to buy undies.

The folks at TD are uber friendly and carry my fav brand: Andrew Christian! Too bad there's not a location here in Calgary.

Priape website still states information on store hours and locations. Perhaps not updated or in fact still open?

Unfortunately I'm not a fan of AC and I'm not a drag queen. My favorite undies are Bjorn Borg, Saxx, Pump, Clever, and Diesel. Thankfully a couple of those are available at The Bay, Sport Check, and HG2.

Just not updated. They are closed...

I like the tighty non-whities at American Apparel. I wore boxer briefs for YEARS but have devolved back to the undies of my childhood. Must have something to do with turning 50 (in three months).

Apparently Priape has been bought up...a friend of mine who used to work there got the word.

I think Holt Renfrew at the Core also carries Bjorn Borg.

Sorry to see Priape go. Best underwear in the world are made by UnderArmour, available at SportChek!

Does everyone here know about One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo? It looks like they have a couple of shows with strong gay themes this year, including this one:

“Join Third Street Theatre and the Calgary Gay History Project for an evening of sass, class and a blast from the past. Our tribute to Club Carousel features inspiring performances based on the origins of Calgary’s LGBTQ community. The evening will be capped off with a special VIP panel about Calgary’s evolving gay community.”

I loved Priape! Especially the handy/subtle rear entrance (no pun intended). First they ban poppers and now this, kinda depressing!

This is absolute BS and I'm sick of people saying this. You're absolving straight people from any responsibility of homophobia in this country and putting it on gays themselves. Yes, some gays who refuse to come out will be homophobic but the amount of self hating gays are no where the amount of straight homophobes and they're not the cause of the problem. As if straight people are all accepting angels, no.

Chadillaccc · #**436** Posted **Jan 10, 2014, 6:47 PM**

I wasn't trying to give straight people a cop out for their homophobia. Since you clearly read my comment, you will see I used the word "most," not "all". I shouldn't have said most though, but it is a large number, especially in semi-rural cities from what I've noticed, such as Woodstock Ontario, or Brooks Alberta.

Apparently, The Pint is not only for douchebags now........They are having a gay pub night every tuesday starting now.

Well, I suppose gays can be douchebags as well....haha.

SD's pride is attended by well over 200 000 people making it very much larger than Calgary's by nearly 10x. The guy who told you otherwise must have been very blitzed at San Diego's festivities.

You've been to both? He had.

Pride parades are famous for overestimating attendance and from that block in front of Bankers Hall it felt incredibly crowded so that might have been his perspective at the time.

Gay individuals tend to be highly interested in architectural and art design.

This might be a stereotype but I think it holds true more than not.
