HR210 is a simple commendation resolution honoring Clinton Adams for his long-standing service and leadership in Alabama’s ballroom culture and LGBTQ+ community. The resolution describes his work beginning in the late 1990s, his teaching and mentorship in ballroom, and his role in creating ballroom mini-balls and Pride Ball events that provided safe spaces, community connection, and opportunities for youth and adults.

It credits him with organizing more than 100 testing events, promoting awareness of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and using ballroom events to encourage people to seek health care. In addition, the resolution notes his mentorship in life skills, credit management, and career development, along with his financial and material support for housing, transportation, education, food, clothing, and toys.
