I mean, about time, right? 
Chicago's finally getting its act together on LGBTQ+ affairs. I'm glad they're acknowledging these issues, but come on, it should've been sooner. Antonio King seems like a solid pick for the job though - been in the field long enough to know what needs to be done.
Strengthening education programs and addressing health disparities are great startin' points, but let's not forget about the economic aspects. LGBTQ+ owned businesses need more than just support, they need investment. And as for those who've historically been marginalized, like aging LGBTQ+ individuals and trans women of color... well, that's where things get a little too obvious
. It's all well and good to acknowledge the issues, but we need concrete actions now.
Progress is progress, I guess. Can't wait to see what Chicago does next

he's gonna tackle those health disparities, support lgbtq+-owned businesses, and address homelessness and youth violence head-on 
now king's leading the charge 
it's about time we saw more leadership like this from our cities i'm all for education and advocacy to combat stigma and misconceptions around lgbtq+ issues 
gotta give major props to king for sharing his personal story and being an advocate for himself and others 
... anyway, I think it's awesome that Chicago has finally got its own LGBTQ+ affairs director! It's about time, right? 
King sounds like an amazing guy who's all about giving a voice to the community. I love how he's prioritizing support for small business owners and tackling homelessness - those are some major issues that need addressing ASAP 
. It's so important that our kids feel safe and accepted, you know? And providing security for trans women of color is a huge step forward too... it's just heartbreaking that they're even at risk in the first place

u know i'm not one to get super into politics but this feels like a major step 4 progress
