Unskinny Bop is a queer disco for fatz, fagz and freakz. We play pop music of all persuasions and you are likely to hear some wild rock&roll mixed in to some modern r&b followed by a camp classic or two. Launched by 2 fat dykes the Bop is run by a crew of queer/trans/non-binary cuties. We encourage sincerity, earnestness, dancing with wild abandon, being sweet to strangers and wearing whatever the hell you want. Discrimination is banned at the Bop, stritly no racism, transphobia, misogyny, fatphobia, body policing etc.
