And she’s set to get down to business ““ LGBTQ business, that is.
We get a lot of press releases, but not all of them make us squeal with excitement.
This story is one of the squealers. It’s just been announced that Lea DeLaria, i.e. everyone’s favorite TV (and real-life) butch, will host the 6th Annual StartOut Awards on Friday, October 6th at the St. Regis San Francisco. Get ready for camp realness.
We all know her and love her from Orange Is The New Black, but this award-winning entertainer is no overnight success.
We are hoping for the level of Extra from Lea
As a true triple threat – comedian, actress and jazz musician – Lea has been recognized for her immense talent as recipient of numerous industry awards. And for where it really counts, Lea has been an outspoken and unapologetic LGBTQ trailblazer as one of entertainment’s openly out performers for decades – yes, decades.
With Lea at the podium, The 6th Annual StartOut Awards promises to be a delectable evening of entertainment, surprises, and raucous laughter that only Lea and the LGBTQ community can deliver.
And if you haven’t encountered StartOut before, we definitely recommend checking out the great work that it does as an organisation, connecting America’s LGBTQ entrepreneurial community to each other and to the resources that can enable them and their fabulous ideas to flourish.
