Tucson Arizona city of my birth and home to my octogenarian parents who I was caring for and taking a career hiatus from my high stakes career as the president of the international kitchen exhaust cleaning Association and overseeing international fire codes. Having survived a nearly fatal set of health conditions that Rick Simpson oil brought me back to health from, I became even more convinced than ever of what I've been fighting for since 1990 which is the legalization of marijuana. Having been a freedom fighter since 1990 and having connections with the Emerald Triangle that are probably best left to the Legends for the moment.... I took an entry level position at D2 dispensary. At the $11 an hour that I was making it was certainly not anywhere near my executive level salary nor did I expect it to be and every penny that I made there and every tip that I made I put right back into the business. I was extremely loyal to the brand and I was the face of the company on their website as well as in person meet and greets. I can tell you that there's a lot going on there that's hot not okay and I really didn't want to believe that and you probably don't either.

I don't blame you. When I started doing promotional work for D2 dispensaries I was approached by one of their former employees who was horrified that I was promoting their brand and told me how evil they were. I didn't want to believe that. I heard it from members of their management team and former employees and many of my coworkers had lists of grievances that shocked me. The more that I saw and the more that I learned the more that I recognized that this is not the business that it appears to be. What you have been sold is a slick marketing campaign hiding corporate wrongdoing like I have never seen in any industry in my entire life.

Tucson I love you. On January 21st when the pride Association closed and said the February 21st Pride was canceled I said hot no and I got my butt down there at my own expense and put on pop-up pride. D2 Knew about it the Loft Cinema knew about it but they didn't tell you about it because they were trying to hide the truth about what happened to me at D2 dispensary.

On January 21st 2026 the Tucson Pride Association announced that they were closing their doors and canceling the 50th annual Tucson Pride on February 21st 2026. This was a 50-year tradition in Tucson and the corporate board just put out an announcement saying pride is canceled.

Within 10 minutes big papa Hundo publicly issued the announcement that hot no you cannot cancel pride and that he was going to spend the next 30 days working around the clock to ensure that Tucson still had a free public Pride celebration so that the 50-year tradition in Tucson arizona, the third oldest Pride Association in the United states, and something that the queer community what's incredibly proud of would not be canceled. 

Hundo conducted a free event for February 21st 2026 and even though he is located in Humboldt county, he traveled by car all the way down to his birthplace of Tucson Arizona at his own personal expense and implemented and participated in the first annual Tucson pop-up Pride to be the 50th annual Tucson Pride.

Hundo had just finished his still alive in 25 tour where he regularly wore the Loft Cinema Pride themed shirt believing that the lock Cinema Tucson was an lgbtqia+ welcoming and inclusive establishment as they claimed to be. They published his videos on their website advertising their brand with no compensation.

 Loft Cinema Tucson did something totally shocking that hurt the queer community and the community deserves to know. 

Hundo reached out to The Loft theater in January of 2026, being a dues paying member and having done free promotional work for their brand across the United States specifically highlighting their lgbtq friendly marketing, told them about the pop-up pride and said he would be in town for an entire week and that he would volunteer to speak for free about the pop-up Pride, and that he would love it if they would consider screening Saint Misbehavin the Wavy Gravy movie. They didn't even answer him by phone or text they simply hung up on him when he identified himself when he called and blocked him on instagram and 30 days later on Facebook. He has been calling them and writing them ever since and they simply hang up the phone on him.

He is unable to use his membership and has been unable to since January though he's a dues paying member. They will not even discuss a refund they won't even have a conversation. They probably don't even know that Tucson pop up Pride happened on February 21st 2026 because they were so busy hiding behind their block buttons and doing exactly what they said they were not going to do. 

In 2025 The Loft Cinema Tucson issued an apology to the community saying that they had failed to listen to the voices of the community. 

In 2026 The Loft Cinema Tucson managed to not have to listen to the voices of their Community by simply blocking and ignoring their community. 

Boycott The Loft Cinema tucson. 

Now let me just tell you that we did have a screening of saint Misbehavin the Wavy Gravy movie at the Presidio theater in San Francisco and Wavy Gravy himself along with Michelle esrick the filmmaker were there. 

Saving a 50-year-old Pride tradition in Tucson Arizona and being heroes in the story by screening Saint Misbehavin likely would have seen the MC of Woodstock himself and the filmmaker herself attend in Tucson at The Loft Cinema, celebrating the community's resilience in not allowing the 50-year-old's pride tradition to die because of corporate nonsense, but you see their priorities were in a different place. 

The loft Cinema Tucson was busy doing fundraisers for their million dollar luxury patio with luxury loungers and they were so busy trying to get money for luxury loungers that they literally turned their back on their queer community. 

A simple yes or no would have been fine. But zero conversation, blocking a dues paying member on Instagram, refusing to have any conversation whatsoever for 30 days and then blocking that same dues paying member on Facebook is just corporate cowardice. 

All they needed to say was we know about it and we really don't care what happens to the queer Community or we know about it and we'll spread the message or we don't want to screen that film at this time or hey that's a great idea but literally just hiding behind a block button and hanging up the phone every time I identify myself is disgusting. 

When I wore your shirt at Madison Square Garden and all over my tour I never in a million years would have suspected that you were actually an organization that does not value your community and does not value communication. 

I call upon the people of Tucson Arizona to boycott The Loft Cinema, to demand a public mea culpa apology directly to Hundo, and to recognize that selling queer themed merchandise while your city's Pride literally has been canceled and you don't make any effort whatsoever to help your community is actually predatory sick wrong and we see it and we don't like it.
