CHICAGO — Leaning into the Human Rights Campaign’s election-season mantra — “We Show Up” — and Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s election battle cry — “We Decide” — LGBTQ+ advocates, influencers and allies converged Tuesday night at TAO Nightclub in Chicago to share joy, community and celebration as the Windy City this week is at the center of the political world.

Award-winning activist and actor Billy Porter was among the attendees and performers, captivating the audience with his trademark charisma and style, while drag performer Detox was the headlining queen.

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community.
