Hunky Jesus became a transformative event for the queer community amid ongoing challenges such as anti-trans bills and crackdowns on rights. Participants dressed up and expressed their individuality while promoting messages of defiance and solidarity. The atmosphere was supportive, with attendees helping each other and celebrating creativity. The event evolved beyond mere entertainment, embodying elements of protest and unity, showcasing the spirit of Pride untainted by commercial influences. It reaffirmed the community's resilience and importance of collective expression and support.
"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."
