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

In a time of heightened challenges for the queer community, such as anti-trans bills and political repression, the Hunky Jesus event served as a vibrant expression of defiance and unity. Participants showcased creativity through DIY fashion while advocating for trans rights, creating a celebratory atmosphere akin to a 'queer church.' The event combined elements of protest, fashion, and community bonding, demonstrating that joy and solidarity can thrive even amidst adversity, countering the commercialism often seen during Pride events.
Here is a crowd that will hand you sunscreen, fix your lash, and call you gorgeous in the same breath. They came to serve lewks and affirm life, and maybe scream a little for Sexy Satan.
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.
