These images were shared by several of our patrons as well as our official event photographer, Carrie Graham. We welcome you to peruse and to PLEASE tag yourself or people you know. Thank you to everyone - including our event sponsors - and our headliner Matteo Lane - for making this the most successful event in the Legacy Project's history!

Happy Pride!! Many thanks to eternal friend and champion Sean Lewis for this lovely piece on the Legacy Walk. Chicago knows what LGBTQ Pride is really about. (And, right now, so does Minneapolis, thanks to which is hosting the Legacy Wall!) Be sure to tune in to WGN Tuesday night at 9p to see a retrospective on Stonewall that will include more Legacy Walk conversations about the true importance of our no-longer-hidden history!

Celebrating Legacy Project Co-Founder Lori Cannon's birthday with a screen capture from the introductory video where she has just said "The Pylons!" and is getting ready to turn her head and point to the Rainbow rings overhead. That remains the most memorable part of the video for everyone!

Gorosh... this is as close as I can get to that immortal shot of Lori from the video. She has just said "The Pylons!" and is getting ready to turn her head and point - but by that time the camera is raised above her head and she is out of frame.

He wasn't the first openly gay person elected to office, but there was something in the way Harvey's fate and the fate and future of LGBT people were so extraordinarly aligned that nothing was the same after he came along.
