With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) 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 gloves are off. The Rolling anger is fierce. In a somewhat obscure gay marriage case in California, the U.S. Department of Justice sub- mitted a brief June 11 that many LGBT activists Along are decrying as a betrayal of President Barack Obama’s promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And yet a prominent, widely respected con- Queer stitutional law professor urges caution, arguing Bronzeville page 7 that the particular lawsuit that triggered this latest controversy is “extremely vulnerable” on a number of legal grounds. The case is Smelt v. U.S., one that has been brewing since 2004 and which gay legal activists openly criticized as premature and ill-conceived at the time. That criticism has not changed with the lawsuit’s new incarnation, filed last Decem- ber. What has changed is the president, his ap- pointees to the Department of Justice, and the Chaz expectation on the part of many in the LGBT To Become community that the Obama administration page 18 would mount only a perfunctory defense of a Man DOMA, given that President Obama has vowed to work to repeal the statute. But instead, the DOJ, under Obama appointee page 26 Tony West, an Assistant Attorney General, has filed a brief vigorously defending DOMA as a rea- sonable and necessary law.
