This past weekend my Dad took me to the HRC Chicago Gala! It was one of the best events I have ever attended. Being in a room full of people engaged in the fight for our rights was so powerful. There were speeches given that made me cry and words exchanged that brought me new life. There were so many awesome people and im so happy I got to meet a bunch of them. #hrcgala #hrc2017 #hrcchicago
