hosted a weekly “Gay Party” on Sunday nights, which would have been an ideal location and venue to host the Mr. Gay World Puerto Rico event. Unfortunately, after several conversations with Oceano management, the event idea was politely turned down. According to Oceano
employees, this gay-owned establishment prefers not to attract national media attention, in order to maintain their good standing with the locals. Although on June 2, 2013, Oceano hosted a Pride Celebration Party, and the Sunday night gathering of gays is back on schedule.
