Music, fashion, politics, theater, literature and sports. The icons of these industries help define our culture. Those musicians and designers, actors and writers, politicians and athletes cross racial and gender lines, representing our nation as a whole.

The Inland Northwest, thanks to several LGBT organizations, has a brilliant lineup of events to look forward to, all the way through the second weekend in November.
