The Kalos Gala: Honoring Connecticut's LGBTQ Legacy is an elegant evening celebrating the pioneers, advocates, and community leaders who have advanced LGBTQ+ rights, visibility, and inclusion throughout Connecticut. Benefiting the Hartford Pride Center, the gala pays tribute to the legacy of the Kalos Society, Connecticut's first LGBTQ activist organization, whose groundbreaking work helped organize the state's first Pride celebration and paved the way for future generations. Through recognition, storytelling, and community support, the event honors the past while investing in a more inclusive future.
