Brooklyn Pride got a scandalous shot of adrenaline Saturday, June 28, as Sniffies, the unapologetically explicit cruising app threw its weight behind the wildly chaotic and wonderfully queer Twinks vs. Dolls showdown.
What started as a cheeky alternative to the polished corporate Pride scene has turned into a full-blown cultural moment. With over 5,000 attendees pouring into the venue, the annual event delivered on its promise: messy, horny, and hilariously queer mayhem.
From Monster Trucks to Glory Holes
Forget rainbow floats and gentle affirmations, Twinks vs. Dolls is about maximalist queer joy and absolute camp carnage. This year’s players made their grand entrances via monster trucks and motorcycles (shoutout to Dykes on Bikes), revving up the crowd before a single twink or doll even touched the turf.
The festivities began with a delightfully absurd car impression contest, but the real headline came courtesy of the Sniffies Suck Off. With two giant glory hole walls wheeled into the ring, contestants raced to deep-throat popsicles for team pride and audience approval. It was the Sniffies-sponsored Twinks who ultimately pulled ahead, tongue-first.
A Kiddie Pool, Some Nacho Cheese, and a Whole Lot of Pride
Just when you thought it couldn’t get messier, the finale brought out a kiddie pool full of nacho cheese for a no-rules wrestling match. Equal parts absurdist theater and queer catharsis, Twinks vs. Dolls has become a Pride essential: chaotic, defiant, and deliciously unserious.
Sniffies Puts Its Money Where Its Mouth Is
Beyond the camp and kink, Sniffies used the event to spotlight a deeper mission: supporting trans lives. The app donated $15,000 to Trans Lifeline, a grassroots organization offering crisis support and microgrants to trans people. Attendees also snatched up limited-edition jerseys (an estimated 500 sold), with 100% of proceeds going directly to the cause.
It was messy. It was meaningful. And it was money well spent.
