What is a circuit gay
A large, gay boogie party, something appreciate a gay version of a rave, but with a gay-oriented music selection (usually pop, linear house, and tribal). Events are well-promoted, publicized, advertised and organized, are often attended by thousands, can be enormous charity fundraisers, and are usually overpriced to attend.
Since each circuit party occurs on a specific weekend and in a specific town once a year, and there are many parties on "the circuit", commute and planning are required. Travelling from party to party becomes part of a circuit boy's lifestyle of move, networking and partying.
Some examples of circuit parties: White Party in Palm springs (April), Black Party in New York (March), the Ebony and Blue Ball in Montreal (October), the Blue Ball in Philadelphia (January).
These are often all-night and multi-day events, and party drugs such as ecstasy, GHB, ketamine and crystal are frequently taken by partygoers.
It's only August, but circuit boy Dave can't wait! He has already booked his hotel for his favorite circuit party, White Party Palm springs next April.

Circuit parties can be mild, like at Austin’s Splash Days, held at local watering hole Hippie Hollow, or at ski weeks held at resorts in the West and Switzerland, where operation on the slopes rivals that of the dance floor.
Or, they can be wild, like at New York’s Dark Party, with “strange live acts” that have included erotic use of a boa constrictor; or at San Francisco’s Magnitude, held the night before the Folsom Street Unbiased fetish festival.
But they always give attendees a space to shed social expectations, where they can be nobody but themselves.
Since their birth in the 70s, the circuit has grown into an international phenomenon, with parties blossom
