In light of rising anti-trans legislations and repression of LGBTQ+ rights, the event Hunky Jesus emerged as a vibrant expression of defiance and community. Attendees celebrated not just with flamboyant outfits but also with a sense of unity and support. The atmosphere transformed from mere festivity to a more profound gathering that combined elements of protest, fashion, and queer church. The importance of such events is underscored as a reminder of what Pride can truly be in the face of challenges, rejecting commercialization while fostering solidarity and joy among LGBTQ+ individuals.
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 church, a protest, and fashion week all rolled into one.
It's everything Pride should be when it's not oversaturated with commercial sponsors. And of course Hunky Jesus? He saved.
So you probably thought we’d lay low and start a group chat about moving to Canada. Instead we're doing what we always do in times of repression: dressing up, showing out, and turning defiance into a damn runway.
