Director of LGBT affairs for the mayor’s office Gloria Casarez (left) was the guest of honor of Rainbow Eye co-owners Iris Melendez and Brenda Torres at a breast cancer awareness “beef and brew” fundraiser on the bar’s patio Aug. 29. Casarez first openly spoke about her personal battle with breast cancer at the Latino Pride Festival on June 6. Mereliss y Caliente group members Ivan, Mereliss, Teresita and Havana Joe also were at the event, pictured here shortly before the skies opened up and the party moved inside. Photo: Scott Drake
