The record

Sources

Evidence note (master store)

The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame, the stored alias) is the only city-sanctioned LGBT hall of fame in the world, founded in 1991 to honour Chicago people and entities, nominated by the community, who have made significant contributions to the quality of life or well-being of the LGBT community and the city of Chicago; the first ceremony took place during Pride Week 1991 at Chicago City Hall hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley — from the Hall's own site (tier 2), fetched in full. Stored 'city-run' note stands in substance (city-sanctioned; community-nominated).
