SLIDESHOW: Marriage Equality New York's 12th Annual Gala In NYC

Last night Marriage Equality New York staged their 12th annual fundraising gala in NYC, honoring LGBT advocates NY Sen. Jose Peralta, actor B.D. Wong, attorney Shannon Minter, and activist group Queer Rising. The evening was hosted by the ever-effervescent Marti Gould Cummings. I was unable to attend, but JMG staff photographer Dr. Jeff did his usual stellar work on the red carpet for us.

Lots of bold-face names in the photos below, including songstress/comedian Lea DeLaria, MENY head Cathy Marino-Thomas, Village People's Randy Jones, actor Leslie Jordan, Reichen Lekmkuhl, Broadway's Marty Thomas, NYC Councilman Daniel Dromm, NYC Comptroller John Liu, the cast of Hair, civil rights attorney Yetta Kurland, and many more.
