Phil Hammack/Alpha Pup Turbo talks about what nightlife means to him.
Hey everybody! It’s Phil Hammack, also known as Alpha Pup Turbo, here to share my story of what nightlife has meant to me. I can honestly say I think that nightlife saved my life, at least twice. 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. I went to my first night club and immediately felt a sense of welcoming, a sense of safety, and a sense of confidence I had never had in my life before. The club where I went to when I came out was incredibly diverse—a huge cross-section of the queer community. For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel alone.
