Comedienne and celesbian extraordinaire, the one and only Tig Notaro hosted the the annual Impact Awards gala in Beverly Hills, CA over the weekend. The awards are given by The Family Equality Council each year as a way to “recognize individuals and companies that have made outstanding contributions to supporting the wellbeing of LGBTQ families.” This year’s honorees included the creators of Transparent, Target, and longtime Family Equality Council supporters Jonathan Murray and Harvey Reese.
At the event, which was held at the Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel, Tig Notaro and Sarah Paulson shared some adorable stage and camera time together. We challenge you to caption these photos:

The pair hammed it up together for a while on stage, where Tig thanked Sarah for the Emmy she should have rightly won, and Sarah joked about their lack of witty banter.
