MO’s Universe has also committed to supporting several LGBT sports organizations each year, including America’s Finest Softball League, SD Hoops, SDAFFL and, more recently, the Varsity Gay League.

MO’s Universe is also dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for the LGBT community to be themselves while enjoying delicious eats and colorful libations at one of our four locations: Urban MO’s, Baja Betty’s, Gossip Grill and Hillcrest Brewing Company.
