It’s that time of the year again where we call it here in Atlanta, the unofficial Atlanta Black Pride weekend aka MLK weekend. Atlanta promoters have a festive weekend planned for locals and out of towners visiting and we have a full rundown on everything so you don’t have to look all over the NET to find out where and what. Over 20+ events are happening between this Wednesday, January 11th and Monday, January 16th.
One thing that we have noticed and you might notice as well is that there are no scheduled artists to perform this year. There are a few celebrities hosting parties though. Not to fear, it’s a benefit to most attendees as many of the clubs and events are offering free admission and drinks til midnight and it gives people the opportunity to actually party and not have to stand around and wait hours for an artist to perform a 15 minute set.
Be safe, have fun, and we will see you around this weekend! Get into the full MLK event line-up after the jump. Continue Reading

Ilinois State Sen. Rickey Hendon, who represents Chicago’s West Side, slams the hypocrisy of “adulterers, womanizers” and “brothas on the down low” who opposed SB1716, the civil unions bill that passed Wednesday. “We know what you do at night! You know too.”
Seeing there were only two “brothas” who voted against the bill, who was he talking about?
Hendon is the same Democratic state senator who, in the closing days before the November 2 election, received a standing ovation after he described ultra-conservative and anti-gay Republican gubernatorial candidate Sen. Bill Brady as “idiotic, racist, sexist and homophobic.” “If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head,” Hendon told churchgoers at the rally for Gov. Pat Quinn. “Vote for Bill Brady!”
