ART PHAG: Coming out party, finding a mate and a tasty beer dinner

Every Thursday, we give you this week's LGBTQ to-do list. — If you're like me, coming out of the closet was a breeze because you were merely confirming what everyone knew all along. But to some (ahem, Ricky Martin) the experience may have been a bit more trifling. On Fri., April 2 at 8 p.m. and Sat. April 3 at 4 p.m. at the William Way Center (1315 Spruce St., 215-732-2220) high school students from The Attic Youth Center will share their coming out stories in a performance called "I Do Exist." Young people of all ages and sexual orientations will relive their experiences through movement, poetry and monologue, hoping to find the freedom they were seeking all along and to proudly announce to the world that they're here and they're queer. The cost of admission is sliding scale, ranging from $5 to $10. All money made benefits the Bryson Institute of the Attic Youth Center. — The coming of spring marks the arrival of tweeting birds, cherry blossoms in bloom and most importantly, a surge of hotties hitting the street after a long winter's hibernation. If you're looking to snatch one of them up for a steamy summer romance, you may want to pop over to the William Way Center (1315 Spruce St., 215-732-2220) on Sat., April 3 at 3 p.m. for an informative session called Especially for Singles: The MBTI Roadmap to Successful Relationships. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, organizational experts Carolyn T. Thompson and Ellen Greenberg will lay out personal dating advice from how you should approach relationships to what type of mate you should be looking out for. The advice could be extremely helpful, but get ready to pay handsomely for it. The admission is $75 for members and $100 for non. — If you're a fan of local suds you may want to make your reservations now for the Victory Beer Dinner at terra (243 S. Camac St., 215-545-1102) on Tue., April 6. For $55, a different Victory beer will be paired with each plate in the five-course meal that includes everything from popcorn crab tempura to pan seared tilefish and braised leg of rabbit to grilled banana nut bread. I love terra because of its dark and romantic, almost Parisian feel. It could be the perfect place to pick up that MBTI compatible, but if not you'll at least eat and drink enough to last a few days. There are two sittings, one at 6 p.m. and one at 9 p.m. You can check the full menu. Bon appetit!
