State Senator William Delgado (D–Chicago) has been tirelessly working with local community activist Ruben D. Feliciano in the creation of the 2nd Legislative LGBT Advisory group. “I have been working with activists in the community to raise awareness about the myriad issues that impact LGBT members. Furthermore, I am fully committed to this community process and to the ideals of human rights and LGBT inclusion,” said Senator Delgado.

The purpose of the 2nd Legislative District LGBT Advisory Committee is to convene a group of LGBT stakeholders and allies throughout the community to advise and create an agenda that will respond to the needs, concerns and priorities of the LGBT community. “It is our goal, that through the implementation of an inclusive process, that we can begin to move towards a dialogue of acceptance that will dignify and transform the lives of all residents within the 2nd Legislative District,” Senator Delgado stated.
