Starship Cruising

Starship Cruising is a comical and joyful delve into a

galaxy far, far away where a kitschy collection of extra-
terrestrials share in community and self-discovery. It is

an unapologetic embrace of gay intimacy and identity,
and of the weird and wonderful that resides in all of
us. May fellow aliens feel at home in zero gravity where
space cowboys ride, asteroids collide, where you’re
free to find pride in never fitting in because nothing
is holding you down anymore.

 

So no matter where you’ve been or where you intend to go, we hope you choose to get there via flying saucer – because there’s no shame in being a bit out of this world.
