National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's 2009 New York Leadership Awards

Last night my loyal companion Aaron and I attended the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's annual New York Leadership Awards, where San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and designer John Bartlett were recognized for their contributions to the LGBT movement. Here's a quick slideshow of the event; I'll add more thoughts on the evening later today. Full screen versions of the below photos are here.

Back In The New York Groove

Debbie Harry and former Toilet Böys lead singer Miss Guy performed Kiss member Ace Frehley's solo 1978 hit New York Groove at Monday's NGLTF New York Leadership Awards. New York Groove will appear on Miss Guy's upcoming album and you can stream the single on his MySpace page.

And here's Debbie Harry's lovely latest single, If I Had You, from Necessary Evil.
