Reviews from last year...

"The DJ was phenomenal and kept us dancing!" Tracy Carnes

"I had a great time...I was impressed and inspired... I want to bring my mom next year..." Mary Zaller

"...Two tables of high school students were acknowledged... Kids deemed to be different are so often marginalized... as parents, it's great to see them celebrated for absolutely everything they are."

Susan and Peter Freimark, parents

".What I really enjoyed was the feeling of safety and empowerment...

It was such a rush to see so many people organized together for the sake of human rights and equal rights." Dave Haynik, Volunteer

"An Evening of Purpose and Pride.'

As America's largest gay and lesbian organization, the Human Rights Campaign provides a national voice on gay and lesbian issues. The Human Rights Campaign effectively lobbies Congress: mobilizes grassroots action in diverse communities; invests strategically to elect a fair-minded Congress: and increases public understanding through innovative education and communication strategies.

HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity, to ensure that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.
