A rodeo, but make it gay.

That’s how the weekend unfolded for the 38th annual Arizona Gay Rodeo, which took place Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Corona Ranch and Rodeo Grounds in Laveen. Hundreds of participants and fans spent the weekend enjoying a dozen events, from bull and steer riding to barrel racing and team roping.

The make it gay part? Steer decorating, wild drag race and goat dressing competitions. Entertainment that included drag shows, dancers and Wrestle Drag certainly didn’t hurt, either.

The pavilion next to the arena was stocked full of vendors selling blankets, Western hats, candles and haircuts. as well as signature collectors hoping to get an abortion access ballot measure before voters in November.
