Hello Out readers!

This Wednesday in Los Angeles, California, dozens of the year's biggest and brightest LGBTQ+ stars came together at the 2024 Out100 Event!

At the event, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo was honored with the Icon of the Year Award and Sheryl Lee Ralph was honored as the Advocate of the Year.

Other queer celebs like Margaret Cho, Orville Peck, Nava Mau, Nina West, Law Roach, Karla Sofía Gascón, Reneé Rapp, Katy O'Brian, Trixie Mattel, Vincint, and more were in attendance, making it one of the hottest parties of the year!

This party had everything: trans Netflix stars, Pattie Gonia lip synching to the viral "holding space" Wicked interview, Sheryl Lee Ralph belting, Reneé Rapp fangirling over Cynthia Erivo, and Margaret Cho wishing a UTI on transphobic U.S. Representative Nancy Mace.

We even asked attendees who and what they were holding space for right now!

The Out100 party is always one of the biggest of the year, but this year's was truly something special.
