Last night, guests and honorees attended Out Magazine's annual OUT100 gala celebrating the best and the brightest the LGBT community had to offer. It was an evening of celebration, but also of solidarity, as we were all reminded how far we've come and were collective in our resolve not to turn back the hands of time. A special thanks goes out to presenting sponsor Lexus and to all sponsors, including Gilead Sciences, Wells Fargo, Macy's, Absolut and Barefoot Wine & Bubbly.
