Martin Luther King, Jr.’s wildest dream probably did not include a bunch of cute Southern boys in trunks grooving to Diana Ross, even if such a fevered vision might have been enjoyed by his gay sidekick, Bayard Rustin. But that’s one of the many great things about King’s legacy: the fact that we get a whole weekend every year to celebrate the man who taught us to dream big, enjoy our freedom and to never stop pushing for the right to be ourselves.
In honor of MLK, here’s the GayCities roundup of some of the most popular events happening across the country this weekend, from fundraisers to dance parties.
