HRC gala honors Portia de Rossi and Kathy Griffin

This weekend in Los Angeles, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest LGBT civil rights organization, held their Annual Awards Gala and honored Portia de Rossi with the HRC Visibility Award and Kathy Griffin with the Ally for Equality Award.

Comic Bridget McManus (Brunch with Bridget) worked the red carpet at the event and asked Kathy Griffin about kissing girls and what kind of lesbian she would be, and also talked to Meredith Baxter about life post-coming out.

Also stopping by to chat with Bridget were Louis van Amstel (Dancing with the Stars), Michelle Clunie (Queer as Folk), Michael Manning (Real World: D.C.), Blake Lewis (American Idol), comic Suzanne Westenhoefer, Eli Roth (Inglourious Basterds) and Peaches Geldof.

YAY!!

This was a great vid! Not only because so many people went to support the HRC and the LGBT community, but also because i LOVE Bridget and i've missed seeing her. Great interviews, very funny, shame about Portia but HILARIOUS ending!

amazing-ness

love bridget mcmanus

have to say, i freaked out when i saw "inglourious bastards"  under peaches and that dude's name.  i was like "whaat?" and then felt stupid when i realized it was the title of the movie and not  a description of the interviewees.

One word, AMAZING!

Bridget my darling, as always you rocked! Karmen, I hope you are proud of your girl!

Side note: How fabulous was it that Michelle Clunie made an effort to come talk to Bridget and the peeps from LOGO?!?! For some reason, that made me tingly inside. She's such a sweetheart! And speaking of fabulous, how amazing did Mrs. Westenhoefer look? Married life is obviously treating her well.

God I'd kill go to Dinah this year but unfortunately I need to save all the money I can. I'll have to live vicariously through some of you.
