We had the honor of having the 57th @mayorofchicago.bsky.social and 48th ward Ald. @leniann.bsky.social at worship. We were thinking of a late friend of the congregation, the 51st Mayor of Chicago #HaroldWashington during this visit

When I see Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth (48th) do her job, a fellow Filipino American, I think, “He helped pave the way for her, for us.”

Mayor Harold Washington flung the doors open for Chicago’s LGBTQ community — Gerald Fariñas y Cacáy
While his impact on the Black and Latino communities is well documented, we often overlook how fundamentally he altered life for Chicago's LGBTQ community.
