I waited 15 years to see Hunky Jesus-and yes, he delivered
Briefly

In response to increasing anti-queer legislation, members of the queer community gather to celebrate individuality and unity at events like Hunky Jesus. The atmosphere is filled with colorful outfits, affirmations, and a sense of solidarity among attendees. This celebration stands as a protest against oppression while embracing joy, creativity, and fashion. The event serves as a reminder of community strength, combining elements of protest, spirituality, and self-expression, embodying the true spirit of Pride without commercialization.
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.
