Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and our country are made aware of the contributions of Chicago's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate homophobic bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, the Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. The Hall of Fame recognizes the volunteer and professional achievements of people of the LGBT communities, their organizations, and their friends, as well as their contributions to their communities and to the city of Chicago. This is a unique tribute to dedicated individuals and organizations whose services have improved the quality of life for all of Chicago's citizens.

    THE VOICE OF CHICAGO’S GAY, LESBIAN, BI AND TRANS COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 April 8, 2009 • vol 24 no 28 www.WindyCityMediaGroup.com Iowa says ‘I Do’ Chicago Red to gay marriage BY LISA KEEN Stars page 22 KEEN NEWS SERVICE In an enormous victory for equal marriage rights for gay couples, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled unanimously April 3 that gay couples should have the right to marriage licenses the same as heterosexual couples. The decision represents the first time a state supreme court has ruled unanimously in favor of equal marriage rights for gay couples, and it is the first time a state in America’s “heartland” has done so. The decision, which goes into ef- fect in 21 days, will make Iowa the third state to TrueChild be currently offering marriage licenses to same- sex couples. Cook-Off page 7 “We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any im- portant government objective,” wrote Justice Mark Cady, for the seven-member court. “The legislature has [with its 1998 law banning mar- riage] excluded a historically disfavored class of persons from a supremely important civil insti- tution without a constitutionally sufficient jus- tification.” The court said the law violated the state con- stitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the South by law and that the court’s own constitutional duty “requires” it to strike the law down.

  • Queerness and Religion
    Queerness and Religion Stonewall Japan doesn’t promote or intend to promote a religious doctrine or practice. Religion and one’s own religious belief can be a very personal and intimate topic of discussion. Despite being used as an instrument of division and harm, some communities share very complex and intertwined relationships with belief systems. This month’s newsletter will give some insight to individuals and some of these relationships in our community. Hinduism and a third-gender Hijras are the most common third gender group found in South Asia, particularly India. The hijra community includes trans and intersex individuals but they are simply recognized as third gender, neither male nor female, in their communities and culture. Many Hindu texts speak of hijra as highly respected and revered, being close to the divine as many of the gods in the Hindu pantheon are third gender themselves. The negative effects of British colonialism are still felt to this day though there have been positive developments for the community. In 2014, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh recognized third gender individuals as being deserving of equal rights and in 2015, the city of Raigarh in India saw its first hijra mayor. https://mg.co.za/article/2017-04-13-00-hinduism-embraces-the-third-gender https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/03/06/tritiya-prakriti-hinduism-hijras/ Yoruba and Santeria - African Diaspora and Queerness Originating in Western Africa, the Yoruba people and their religion are the point of origin for Afro-Caribbean religions like Santeria.
