Night of a thousand gay icons

Bitch on Wheels post by Debbie Rasmussen, Submitted by Debbie Rasmussen on March 14, 2008 - 2:35pm; tagged events, gay, Liberace, Portland.

Last night was Equity Foundation's annual benefit auction, held at the Portland Center Stage Gerding Theater. Equity is a fantastic Portland-based foundation that awards grants to nonprofit organizations statewide that are effecting social change, particularly around queer activism. We're honored to be among the organizations chosen for 2008: Equity will be sponsoring the Bitch In page for our upcoming Loud issue (Summer 2008).

It was fancy! And gay! Check out the archetypal gay icon herself hovering over an impressive lighting technique.
