Chicago just appointed its first-ever Director of LGBTQ+ Affairs, Antonio King, a historic milestone for the city and its LGBTQ+ community. Named by Mayor Brandon Johnson in January, King brings 21 years of public health experience and a legacy as a pioneering advocate — the first gay, Black man to lead LGBTQ+ Health and Outreach in Chicago. With a mandate to develop the city’s LGBTQ+ policy plan, King is focused on six key priorities, especially supporting youth through schools and ensuring older LGBTQ+ adults have access to care and decision-making support. This June, as Pride Month begins, King will march alongside the Mayor — not just as an advocate, but as the city’s first executive-level LGBTQ+ leader, symbolizing a new era of institutional commitment to the community.
