—Lori Lightfoot is running for mayor of Chicago.

If elected, Lori will be the first African-American woman and first LGBT person to serve as mayor of Chicago.

—Eddie S. Pierce is a Master's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing degree recipient from Chicago State University. Mr. Pierce considers himself to be primarily a fiction and prose writer, but was afforded the opportunity to be published in 95Notes Literary Magazine for poetry and Sage Publishing's Encyclopedia of Identity for an article on the phenomena of "passing."

—R.C. Riley is a writer and performer who gets a big 'ol kick out of making her childhood friends cringe when she talks about sex-uality and spirituality in the same sentence. Over the years she has been mistaken as straight, "reformed" and/or out of fellowship with God. But her haters can take two seats because she is 40 and gives no - watch your mouth! R.C. makes no bones about the fact that she was created QUEER and she absolutely adores her Creator!
