Locals + Culture

Another year, another fantastic show of LGBTQ support from our salty community. We’ve touted the HRC Gala time and again, and hopefully this year you snagged your tix in time to get in on the good times. This fab fete is one of our fave annual events (and—while we love an excuse to bust out the cummerbund—this night is about oh-so-much more than dinner, drinks, and dancing).

It’s about raising awareness and spirits in equal measure…

By the end of the night, both were soaring. And, while tears were certainly shed, they were the kind dried by the promise of a safer, more loving, and more inclusive future for all. Laughs were had, funds were raised, and awareness was the name of the game (because, in the end, the HRC Gala is all about folks supporting folks just being their own, wonderful selves). Year after year, this sensational organization puts together one hell of a party to ensure that the fight for equal rights forges on, and, year after year, we’re honored to be a part of that crowd that raises a ruckus in the name of love. Missed it? We missed you. And we hope to catch you all next year...
