Club Skirts The Dinah Shore, the largest girl party and music festival in the world has partnered with The Human Rights Campaign

Club Skirts The Dinah Shore, the largest girl party and music festival in the world has partnered with The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization. Being dubbed as: A Party With A Purpose, Mariah Hanson, founder of the Dinah elaborated on the new partnership by saying, "We choose our beneficiaries carefully. It’s important to us that any beneficiary is serving a wide diversity of lesbians and HRC is certainly representing all of us. They have inherently understood that the nature of the event is fun and so that any awareness raising we do must also be fun." It seems to be a "mutually respectful" match made in heaven as, Zack Hasychak, Membership Outreach Manager at HRC’s response to the partnership was: "We’re at a unique opportunity. There’s so much happening right now with the gay (LGBT) rights movement. My job is to really spread the word about HRC and the work we’re doing as broadly as possible so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to tie-in this event that’s totally fun with the purpose behind everything and why we’re together - why we’re able to get together like this." He added, "We do a series of women’s events around the country known as HerHRC. It’s all about providing visibility of HRC to thousands and thousands of women who will be there."

 Her HRC: Carnival of Delight in West Hollywood 

Our annual Her HRC event in Los Angeles happened in the heart of West Hollywood and drew quite the crowd. Over 200 guests packed The Robertson for a night full of performances, games, dancing, “celesbian” appearances, and - of course - fun. The hilarious Julie Goldman and Brandi Howard of “Gay Street Therapy” hosted the evening. Special guests included Meredith Baxter, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Jessica Clark, Sheetal Sheth and many more. This circus-themed fundraiser was one of over 20 “Her HRC” events held across the country, celebrating women and the unique role they play in the LGBT community. Funds raised through this event contribute to HRC’s work to promote full LGBT equality across the US. Special thanks to our sponsors, Wells Fargo, Club Skirts Presents “The Dinah”, and Way2Much Entertainment. Find a Her HRC event near you at www.hrc.org/herHRC.

Stories of love, marriage and commitment 2012 was a year of firsts.

From President Obama’s historic endorsement of marriage equality to our unprecedented victories in Maine, Maryland, Washington and Minnesota, Americans across the country raised their voices louder than ever to affirm that love is love. This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to share some of your firsts: a first date, a first kiss, the first moment you realized you were in love. It’s all part of our ongoing Share Your Love project, celebrating the relationships of pro-equality LGBT and ally couples.
