June is pride month. But in Detroit, July is considered Black gay pride month, and for more than 20 years, Hotter Than July has celebrated Detroit's Black gay community. The weeklong event features a variety of programming, both free and ticketed, including a candlelight vigil, an informational summit at the Marvin Lee Social Justice Center, and a blowout picnic at Palmer Park. This year's event boasts a Kings and Queens theme and among the HTJ's newest additions, a LGBTQ Community Career Fair hosted by the Detroit Police Department in Palmer Park on Saturday, July 27.
