EQIL Justice for All

By GoPride, January 24, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Politicians lined the aisles at Equality Illinois' 2010 "Justice for All" gala Saturday evening at the Chicago Hilton. Almost every candidate in a contested race in the Illinois upcoming primary was there in person to make an appeal for the LGBT vote.

Founded in 1991 as the Illinois Federation for Human Rights, what is now known as Equality Illinois, the group has evolved into one of the Midwest's largest and most influential LGBT organizations.

The Master of Ceremonies for the EQIL Gala was Norma Reyes, City of Chicago Commissioner on Business Affairs and Consumer Protection.

The Illinois primary is February 2.
