Gay Community and Martin Luther King Weekend

Why do so many establishments slap “MLK Weekend” on your Gay bar flyers when it’s just your usual picture of drag queens and white men in a harness or jockstrap?

It’s just a bland and sexualized mess, and not even the bodies you are promoting as desirable are Black.

Nothing about your event honors Black people or Dr. King, or even Bayard Rustin. You’re not offering foods, music, or culture that reflects African Americans. If you didn’t have something planned then simply don’t put it on there?

A little common sense goes a long way.
