My recap of a star-studded night at The Paley Center for Media 2014 Los Angeles Gala

I arrived at Skirball Center last night quite flustered because horrid traffic on the 101 made the journey from Silver Lake to the venue a one hour-plus affair.

But it was a journey well worth it because the The Paley Center for Media 2014 Los Angeles Gala was indeed a special affair.

It celebrated 50 years of television’s impact on LGBT equality and among those who hit the red carpet were Portia de Rossi and mother-in-law Betty DeGeneres, Norman Lear, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Carson Kressley, Jason Collins, Chris Kluwe and the legendary Mitzi Gaynor who I did not get a chance to chat with.

I’ll be sharing some of my red carpet chats in the coming days. For a recap of the program, please see the story I’ve posted over at Gay Star News.
