To celebrate The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2, Netflix and Frameline took over SFs first womens sports bar for a night of reality TV, Pride magic, and community vibes.Netflix brought the drama and the community to San Franciscos Castro district this week with a special Pride Month screening of The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 2 at Rikkis, the citys first womens sports bar. Co-hosted with Frameline Film Festival, the event delivered free bites, a few surprises, and the kind of chaotic queer romance reality TV fans live for.And yes Lexi Goldberg from The Ultimatum: Queer Love Season 1 even made a guest appearance, showing love to the new cast and the local community.We are a womens sports bar, and queer women cannot be disconnected from womens sports, said Danielle Thoe, co-owner of Rikkis. So to see queer, female, and non-binary representation in mainstream media as a part of things that are as silly and fun as reality TV is important. It means theres acceptance and inclusion in the broader media landscape throughout.Rikkis: Born From the SidelinesDanielle co-founded the bar with Sara Yergovich, her former teammate on the San Francisco Spikes LGBTQ+ soccer team. Danielle and I just really wanted somewhere to watch womens sports reliably, Sara shared. Where we could just go and know it was going to be on. And we kind of realized that no one else is going to do it if we didnt.The event held special significance, as it came just weeks after the bars Pride Month grand opening. To be able to have an event during Pride Week with Frameline, Sara added, means that we can engage with the community in a way that we wouldnt have already been able to. Its really cool.First Impressions: Drama, Dating, and Queer Love RealnessGuests came dressed in cocktail chic, sipped on themed drinks, and gave instant reactions to the new season. Drama, Shelby (she/her) and Alice (she/her) said in unison. I only really believe that two couples are genuine, Shelby added with a laugh.As one guest noted during the screening, If youre going on the show and you have to issue something an ultimatum thats kind of a tough spot to be in. Maybe its important for them to break up.Queer Dating Wisdom, Straight From the BarstoolsWhen asked for dating advice, Sara kept it short and powerful: Show up and keep showing up.Another attendee chimed in with her own love-life origin story: Join a queer sports league. I met my girlfriend through gay dodgeball and were in love, and thats beautiful.Netflix + Community = A Win for Queer JoyWith a full house at 2223 Market St., this wasnt just a premiere it was a celebration of queer representation, local business, and chosen family. As Danielle said, Its been an awesome packed night full of all the drama and love and tension youd expect from The Ultimatum.
