EDC Orlando should rebrand as a Pride event — gays are everywhere

There's nothing better than attending an Insomniac festival.

Every year, Insomniac puts on events for every type of music lover from the electrifying raves at EDC to the heart-pumping sets in southern California at Beyond Wonderland or Escape Halloween.

All of these festivals have something for everyone, but the LGBTQ+ community certainly makes up a large part of the rave family at each Insomniac event.

I've attended quite a few Insomniac raves over the past two years and I can confidently say that EDC Orlando takes the cake as the gayest music festival I've ever been to.

At this point, I honestly think EDC Orlando should be considered an official Pride event as so many gays are living their best lives dancing the night away, riding all of the fun rides, and showing love to everyone in their inclusive community.

Let's also not forget all of the sexy costumes everyone's wearing...

Listen, it gets pretty steamy while in the pit of any music festival, but when you add a bunch of shirtless gays singing every word at Illenium's set or dancing hard to every beat drop by Cedric Gervais... it truly feels like Pride is happening in the middle of November.

Another key reason why it's significant that so many people in the LGBTQ+ community attend EDC Orlando is due to the obvious fact that the festival is based in Florida.

Many queer people are facing a lot of anxiety as Republicans take over the White House next year, so escaping from reality in Florida of all places and dancing to some electrifying music is just what was needed.

Florida has historically tried to erase plenty of LGBTQ+ visibility the past few years, so I can speak on behalf of many gay ravers by personally thanking Insomniac Events for continuing to create safe spaces for people to really be themselves.

Multiple times through the weekend, I took many opportunities to just enjoy the moment by living in the present.

I listened to so many incredible sounds by Tiësto, Galantis, Timmy Trumpet, Steve Aoki, Dillon Francis, Netsky, and so many more all while looking up at the electric sky and dancing with the gays around me.

For me, that's true liberation and freedom that can only be achieved by attending an Insomniac music festival. There are countless events coming up, so don't miss out on one of the best experiences of your life by visiting the official website here.
