Black Queer AF Week kicks off in Houston, celebrating Black queer joy with a series of vibrant events running until May 4. Organized by the Normal Anomaly Initiative, the festival's theme of "Visibility" highlights the importance of representation against ongoing societal challenges. Founder Ian Haddock emphasizes that visibility is not aimed at silencing voices but empowering those who feel marginalized. The week features notable performances, a music festival headlined by JT, and events like the Women's Sneaker Ball, showcasing diverse talent and fostering community connections.
Black Queer AF Week celebrates visibility and representation for the Black LGBTQ+ community through music, events, and joy amidst ongoing societal challenges.
'We need the visibility,' Haddock says. 'Our visibility is not for the people who are trying to silence us. It's for the people who are scared - to see that we're still here.'
