VIDEO: Journalist Ben Cable asks guests what HRC means to them at the Human Rights Campaign 2025 Las Vegas Dinner and Gala at Paris Hotel and Casino, August 23, 2025.

“It’s just what it says, human rights. That’s for everybody, not just for the gay community. And, you know, if they’ll come after one, they’ll come after all of us. So we need to stand together, and that’s why events like this are so important”. -Congresswoman Dina Titus
Notable Guests at the dinner celebration included:
- Fletcher Whitwell received the Gavin J. Goorjian Visionary Leadership Award, recognized for his long-term involvement with HRC Las Vegas and leadership at R&R Partners.
- Mayor Shelley Berkley of Las Vegas was honored with the Equality Award. Before assuming the mayoralty in November 2024, she served multiple terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and held executive positions at Touro University.
- Kelley Robinson (HRC President)
- VINCINT (singer/songwriter)
- Bryan Chan (special guest/host)
