Empire State Pride Agenda Tea Dance

Today I was absolutely thrilled to be a special guest at the Empire State Pride Agenda's Hampton's Tea Dance. This event is one of the organizations major annual fund raisers, and notorious for being a great time. Took me less than half a second to figure that out! I joined the record-breaking crowd to celebrate and meet the many New Yorkers who came to show their support.

Empire State Pride Agenda is a state-wide LGBT advocacy group here in New York. They work to support equality and justice for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. They do work in the political field as well as within communities. ESPA is among the leading organizations of its kind in the United States, and it is an honor that they call New York their home.

Graced by beautiful weather, this year's event boasted the highest attendance in it's 18 year history. Many of the guests had come to celebrate the recent passing of New York's new Marriage Equality Act. A pretty darn good reason to celebrate, right? It was so incredibly heart warming to talk with so many people about how this Act will improve their future. New York is now a place where love can be truly blind, free of the boundaries of gender. The day was full of pictures, laughs, new friends, and lots of dancing. Even Lady Bunny came out to play! I was thrilled to meet so many wonderful guests whose support today will help ESPA to support millions in the future.

A million thanks to the Empire State Pride Agenda for letting me join for this beautiful celebration! And a huge thank you to all the wonderful guests and friends I met and spoke with throughout the night!
