Induction into the Hall of Fame symbolizes that the recipient must have made either (1) a single, far-reaching contribution or (2) significant long-term contributions to the quality of life of Chicago’s LGBT communities or of the city of Chicago. The Hall of Fame also recognizes ‘friends of the community’ and LGBT organizations (including businesses) that have made significant contributions to Chicago’s LGBT communities.
