Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson, a native of Milwaukee, receives the 2010 Humanitarian Award at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s Miami Recognition Dinner, held Oct. 2 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Sorenson led efforts to enact a gay-inclusive human rights ordinance for residents of Miami-Dade in 1998.
She went on to successfully fight efforts to repeal it in 2002. In 2008, she helped pass a domestic partner ordinance. Sorenson first became involved in the gay rights struggle through her work with the women’s movement while a student at UWM.
