THE SPOTLIGHT
AND EZRA STAR
Pride is a time for celebration, but often gets coupled with incorrect assumptions of the community and oversexualization of same sex couples.
This month, we put the spotlight on world-renowned nightlife owners Beckaly Franks and Ezra Star, who share their story, their intimacy, and debunk the assumptions put on them as a same sex couple in the nightlife and entertainment industry.
Ezra: We haven't gotten there yet. We have plenty of time. Right now we're enjoying our intimacy with each other.
Beckaly: I'm a PDA person. Like, I'm here for it. But I wouldn't want it to be our public. Because we're working in hospitality, we're still responsible for our venues. But if I was in Ibiza, baby, yeah, yeah. Plug it in and turn it on! Let's go!
Ezra: We're also sexualized quite a bit just for who we are and for our position. So I think doing it in public, around those people who are already treating us a certain way would be not the best... Let's go to Ibiza!
