Tragedy hits Chicago’s Black LGBTQ community: We honor Jaylen, Devonta & Donald who lost their lives to a hit-and-run outside of the iconic Jeffery Pub

In today’s episode I want to remember Jaylen, Devonta & Donald. The three men who were killed in the hit and run at the iconic Jeffery Pub early Sunday morning. A night full of bad decisions has led to this moment. And we know how important bars are to our community. They are places where we find our people. Where we dance without care. Hold hands without second glances. Hug without contempt. Kiss without judgment. Some people call it church because it’s where they find love and support and community. Let’s honor them.
