This summer, our inclusive shindig is all about celebrating who you are. America’s Got Talent alum Christina Wells serenades us all night with songs from the hit musical Chicago. Kam Franklin has to join in on the vocals, since her band the Suffers’ latest album, It Starts with Love, is a reminder to love your neighbor. Once the music is right, Houston Ballet soloist Harper Watters shares some dance moves. And, if we’re lucky, he and energetic Houston Life talk show cohost Derrick Shore may get into a voguing battle. Meanwhile, we’re hoping Houston’s first openly LGBTQ mayor, Annise Parker, will issue a special proclamation to Houstonia for throwing the most welcoming party yet.
