The resolution celebrates the annual 17th Street High Heel Race, a cherished LGBTQ+ tradition in the District of Columbia that began in 1986 with a small gathering of drag performers. This event has evolved into a vibrant celebration of diversity and creativity, attracting numerous participants and thousands of spectators each year. The race, organized by the District of Columbia Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Affairs since 2018, highlights the community's resilience and commitment to supporting gender and sexual diversity, especially in light of ongoing national challenges faced by transgender individuals and drag artists.

Scheduled for October 28, 2025, the resolution expresses the Council's support for the event and wishes participants a fabulous evening. It emphasizes the significance of the race as a form of artistic expression and community celebration, reinforcing the District's dedication to fostering an inclusive environment for all. The resolution will take effect immediately upon publication in the District of Columbia Register.
