Houston Recap

Food, Fun, Fellowship, & Fraternity What an experience. We had an incredible time in Houston this weekend. Friday night was all about bonding. Game night and fellowship with guests from around the region made for the perfect start to the weekend. Old school spades took over the kitchen island while Uno No Mercy battles were happening in the dining room. And of course, libations were flowing all around. Saturday afternoon, at the reasonable hour of noon, we kicked off the firs

Exploring Oklahoma City’s Leather and Pup Play Community

A Road Trip, Real Connections, and the Culture Behind the Movement Oklahoma City Expansion Trip: Business Meets Community Today we hit the road to Oklahoma City with a clear objective: expansion. Not just into new territory, but into the right territory. This trip was about identifying alignment. Meeting people who understand the work. Exploring whether Oklahoma City holds space for what we’re building and how we show up in it. The conversations were intentional. Not surface-

Brothers in Service

The Men of ONYX Lone Star pitched in to help Helping Hands, Open Hearts, a local charity in Dallas that works with the unhoused. We were one of many groups out to build bags filled with necessities which we then attached to a guardrail along the sidewalk making them available to anyone who needed them. The Wall of Love It is a simple concept with an enormous impact. We place bags out for our friends, which include snacks, water, hygiene items, clothing, and toiletries. Wall

Winter Wellness & the Kink Community

by Goliath ONYX, Vice President It’s cold outside. Many of us are experiencing changes in our emotional and mental well being. Colder weather, and reduced sunlight can lower energy levels, affect sleep, and leave folks feeling isolated. Think about it, the past winter storm may have left many of us home alone. Let’s not forget post-holiday stress. This can lead to seasonal depression or heightened stress. Winter has a way of reminding us how much we rely on connection, warmth

Lone Star Cowboy 2026

Another Lone Star Cowboy Bar Night is officially in the books for 2026. Once again, it began at The Round-Up Saloon , widely regarded as one of the largest and most iconic LGBTQ country-western dance halls in the nation. This year, we made a deliberate shift. In an effort to better connect with our guests and potential future brothers, we moved our start time earlier than the traditional 10:00 p.m. kickoff. Opening the evening at 7:00 p.m. proved to be exactly the right call.

Brothers & Brunch

Brothers and Brunch Our first Brothers and Brunch was a success. While we ran into a few location challenges, we adapted quickly, updated the event details, and made our way to a new spot without missing a beat. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us. The gathering did exactly what it was meant to do: give us space to connect and get to know one another better. Did you know that Colossus and Ravenous were both college cheerleaders? We thought Bedivere had been abducted
