Reaction to the gay presidential forum
published Friday, August 10, 2007A few impressions of this political star-fest in Hollywood, where celebrity sightings usually involve klieg lights and movie premieres.
Under blue lighting that gave the Logo/HRC presidential forum studio something of a cool club ambience, celebrities of a different stripe kissed and hugged and buzzed with the excitement in the air.
Actors chatted with politicos and kingmakers. Who was that gabbing between Wilson Cruz and Darryl Stephens? Andrew Tobias, Democratic National Committee treasurer and, not so long ago, the anonymous author of “The Best Little Boy in the World, which told the stories of a generation of gay men who had to find themselves in silence.
Like all of us present, Andy must have felt he was witnessing a miracle.
Elsewhere, former Human Rights Campaign president Elizabeth Birch mingled with radio personality Tammy Bruce; Shelley Morrison, the redoubtable Rosario of “Will & Grace” and one of the LGBT community’s staunchest Hollywood supporters, beamed from the fifth row.
Trans heroine Calpernia Addams got a shout-out from LOGO president Brian Graden, as did Susan Stanton, the Largo, Fla., city manager official fired over her transgender status. In the front row was Staff Sgt. Eric Alva, grave and attentive; in the bleachers opposite were gay comics Jane Lynch and Alec Mapa.
