Are gay clubs the same all around the world? Ludwig’s answer from South Africa.

ETC Babylon

Are gay clubs the same all around the world? Well, here comes an answer from Gauteng Province, South Africa. Editor at Large, Ludwig, hit the dancefloors at Baylon and ETC, camera in hand, to capture the weekend energy and unbridled fun of these two establishments.

Babylon, named after Club Babylon from legendary gay drama, "Queer as Folk", has, in its three year life, become a local institution. Neither hidden away nor tucked discreetly in the corner of a dingy alley, Babylon proclaims its pride without inhibition. Hotness on the dancefloor and hot DJs on the decks make this the must-go weekend venue.

ETC, less into glamorama but friendly in a down-to-earth way, also has a loyal following. You might get there later but you'll be inclined to linger in hope and expectation. "Of what?" you may ask. Well, work that out for yourselves.
