We returned to Terminal 5 to cover GMHC’s 28th Annual Latex Ball and the 2,000+ guests were ready to get their TENz!
With visibility of new TV shows “My House” on Viceland and “POSE” on FX in addition to the ball’s return to free entry had the crowd on Saturday show up and show out!
“For close to 30 years, the Latex Ball has played a critical role as a public health intervention. It also provides a strong sense of community for young black and Latino youth and adults,” said Kelsey Louie, CEO, GMHC. “The ball highlights the creativity, resiliency, and strength of the House and Ball community, as well as encourages members to support their community’s health. With the continued increase of hate crimes and murders of people of color, it is essential that this event persists in letting members of this community know that they do matter.”
This year, the competition categories focus on the theme “KINGDOM.” Category highlights included Realness with a Twist, Bizarre, BQ Face, Legendary Runway, and New Way.
