620 of Seattle's LGBT elite came out this past Saturday to the 2010 Pacific NW HRC Dinner. Ryan and I attended the silent auction prior to the dinner where Married With Children's Amanda Bearse was spotted. At the Dinner, the appearance of Sen. Patty Murray solidified her upcoming re-election win.
HRC's President, Joe Solmonese updated us of what HRC is doing and the reaction to the DADT dead lock and It was refreshing that they were less corporate compared to last year.
The Equality award went to Janice Langbehn, for her work for LGBT Equality after the death of her partner in Florida, and her children were not allowed to see her. Langbehn said in her acceptance speech that one of the Hospital administrators (Who is still employed) said this is an "anti-gay hospital in an anti-gay state". Since 2007, Langbehn has spoken to large crowds about changing laws related to visitation for same-sex couples.
The Visibility award went to Johhny Weir, the Adam Lambert of Men's figure skating. Weir is known around the world as the "People's Skater".
After the dinner, everyone came to the post-party to grab a moment with Johnny. First in line were Ryan and myself, of course!
