The article reflects on the vibrant atmosphere of the Hunky Jesus event, illustrating how the queer community celebrates defiance against oppression with fashion and camaraderie. Amidst rising anti-queer sentiments, participants came together not only to showcase creativity with DIY couture but also to advocate for trans rights, merging protest with pride. The event transcended traditional boundaries, becoming a space of support, affirming life, and collective expression, standing against commercialism often seen during Pride.
"Hunky Jesus - as it turns out - was just what I needed. Here is a crowd that will hand you sunscreen, fix your lash, and call you gorgeous in the same breath."
"What should have been a goofy day in the sun ended up feeling a lot more sacred; here was queer chuch, a protest, and fashion week all rolled into one."
