Hunky Jesus serves as a vital celebration for the queer community, especially in light of increasing repression. Despite an atmosphere of perilous anti-queer legislation and societal challenges, attendees use fashion and performance as acts of defiance and affirmation. The event blends elements of protest, spirituality, and high fashion, pushing against the commercialization often found in Pride celebrations. The gathering fosters positivity and support, showcasing both individual creativity and community solidarity against anti-queer sentiments.
Hunky Jesus 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.
They came to serve lewks and affirm life, and maybe scream a little for Sexy Satan. And scream we did, just as much for some amazing DIY couture as for trans rights.
It's everything Pride should be when it's not oversaturated with commercial sponsors. And of course Hunky Jesus? He saved.
