Mark O’Brien, Producer, Polyglamorous

Hello this is Mark O’Brien of Polyglamorous. We’re a queer nightlife collective that has been putting on events in San Francisco and beyond for over five years.

The first was when I was first coming out. I was a miserable 17-year-old gay boy, very unsure of myself, not clear on how I fit into this world.
