Cynthia Erivo, the powerhouse actress known for her captivating performances and awards recognition, took center stage at the Los Angeles LGBT Center's annual gala. Erivo, honored with the Rand Schrader Award for her achievements in entertainment and LGBTQ+ advocacy, delivered a moving speech that resonated with the audience. Cynthia Erivo Celebrates LGBTQ+ A Night of Recognition and Advocacy The Los Angeles LGBT Center's annual gala is a prestigious event that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and recognizes outstanding contributions. Held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, the evening featured a dinner, heartfelt speeches, and musical performances. Comedian Joel Kim Booster served as the evening's host, guiding the program with humor and grace. Cynthia Erivo Receives the Rand Schrader Award Cynthia Erivo, a multi-talented artist with Emmy, Grammy, and Tony awards to her name, was presented with the prestigious Rand Schrader Award. The award acknowledges individuals who champion the LGBTQ+ community through their work and activism. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith introduced Erivo, highlighting her immense talent and unwavering dedication to LGBTQ+ visibility, particularly for Black queer individuals. Embracing Authenticity: Erivo's Moving Speech Erivo's acceptance speech resonated deeply with the audience. Expressing her immense gratitude for the award and the supportive atmosphere, she embarked on a personal journey, reflecting on her path to embracing her queer identity. Erivo spoke openly about her past admiration for those who could express their authentic selves without reservation. She acknowledged a period of feeling like an outsider, gazing at her community "from inside a glass box." Breaking Free and Finding Home Erivo's powerful message conveyed a sense of liberation. She proclaimed that the "glass has shattered" and she has stepped into "the wide open spaces" where she truly belongs. This newfound freedom, she emphasized, allowed her to fully embody the iconic characters she has portrayed throughout her career. Erivo declared, "I wanted to live, not just exist." Applauding the L.A. LGBT Center's Work Erivo went on to acknowledge the crucial role of the L.A. LGBT Center, particularly in these "intensely polarized times." She commended the center's unwavering commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and actively combating anti-LGBTQ+ extremism. A Connection to "Wicked" and Elphaba Erivo then drew a fascinating parallel between her journey and the beloved musical "Wicked." She expressed her belief that the universe orchestrated the casting of director John Chu for the upcoming "Wicked" film adaptation and that she was destined to portray the iconic green witch, Elphaba. Erivo emphasized the connection between Elphaba's story and the challenges faced by those who embrace their individuality and defy societal norms. A Call to Action and Inspiration Erivo concluded her speech with a powerful message of encouragement for the audience. She urged them to "keep rebelling," embrace their true selves and inspire others to do the same. Her words served as a call to action, highlighting the importance of self-expression and fostering an inclusive space for everyone. Other Award Recognitions The evening didn't solely focus on Erivo's achievements. Artist Mickalene Thomas received the Vanguard Award, acknowledging her artistic contributions and commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. Pop group MUNA was presented with the Leslie Jordan Award for Excellence in the Arts, named after the late actor. Singer-songwriter Jewel joined MUNA onstage for a surprise performance, further enhancing the evening's celebratory atmosphere. A Night of Success for the L.A. LGBT Center The Los Angeles LGBT Center gala proved to be a resounding success. The event raised a significant amount of funds, reaching $1.6 million, which will directly support the organization's vital programs and services for the LGBTQ+ community.

A New York Times best-selling author, McCain wrote and published her first book, “Dirty Sexy Politics: A True Story” in 2010 followed by a children’s book, both of which were inspired by her time on the campaign trail during her father’s presidential run. McCain’s most recent book, “America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom,” recounts the cross-country road trip that she and left-wing comedian Michael Ian Black embarked upon together in 2011.

Congressman Ted Deutch will be recognized for his statewide contributions in advancing inclusiveness and promoting LGBT+ equality during Diversity Honors presented by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on March 30. The event benefits Harvey Milk Foundation and The Pride Center at Equality Park.

Congressman Ted Deutch represents Florida’s 22nd district in the House of Representatives, home to communities throughout southern Palm Beach County and Broward County. He is proud to represent a significant LGBTQ community, including the city of Wilton Manors. Prior to running for Congress, Deutch served two terms in the Florida State Senate, where in 2008 he helped pass an employment non-discrimination bill through a committee for the first time in Florida’s history. In Washington, he has risen as a strong advocate for the LGBT community, both domestically and around the world. He serves as a vice chair of the LGBT Equality Caucus and chair of the LGBT Aging Issues Task Force. Deutch helped introduce the Ruthie and Connie LGBT Elder Americans Act, which would amend the Older Americans Act (OAA) to better represent and serve LGBT seniors. In 2017, he helped push the Department of Health and Human Services to reinstate sexual orientation demographic questions as part of their National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP). He is also an original cosponsor of the comprehensive Equality Act to extend federal protections to LGBTQ people. Deutch is the chairman of the House Ethics Committee, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism and a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee.

Phill Wilson is the former president and CEO of the Black AIDS Institute. Prior to its founding, Wilson served as AIDS coordinator for the City of Los Angeles from 1990 to 1993, and director of policy and planning at AIDS Project Los Angeles from 1993 to 1996. He was co-chair of the Los Angeles County HIV Health Commission from 1990 to 1995 and was an appointee to the HRSA AIDS Advisory Committee from 1995 to 1998. He was the coordinator of the International Community Treatment and Science Workshop at the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th International AIDS Conferences in various countries. Wilson was the co-founder of the National Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Forum and the National Task Force on AIDS Prevention. He has been involved in the founding of numerous AIDS service organizations including the Chris Brownlie Hospice, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the National Minority AIDS Council. He was a member of the U.S. delegation to the 1994 World AIDS Summit in Paris, and has worked extensively on HIV/AIDS policy, research, prevention, and treatment issues across the globe. The Ford Foundation named Wilson one of the 20 award recipients for the Leadership for a Changing World, in 2001. A published author, Wilson is a Discovery Health Channel Medical Honoree and was named one of the “2005 Black History Makers in the Making” by Black Entertainment Television.

As executive director of SAVE, Florida’s longest-serving LGBTQ advocacy organization, Antonio “Tony” Lima, has become an internationally recognized leader in the fight for LGBTQ equality. Under his guidance, SAVE has secured the most significant wins towards LGBTQ equality in the organization’s 25-year history. In 2016, SAVE was nationally recognized in both the journal Science and The New York Times for its groundbreaking prejudice reduction work for transgender equality. The year prior, SAVE successfully sued the state of Florida to legalize same-sex marriage, and in 2014, SAVE passed comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for transgender individuals at the Miami-Dade County Commission. In 2012, Lima was named “Top Latino Leader” by Latino Leaders magazine and the following year he was recognized as a “Top 20 Under 40” by Brickell magazine. Lima received the “Pink Flamingo Award” for “Best Activist” from the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. South Florida Gay News recognized Lima as the “Best Activist” in South Florida for 2015, 2017 and 2018. Also, in 2018, he received the Trans Latina Coalition Ally Award, and the Miami Dolphins honored him with the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award.

Incorporated in 1953, the City of Wilton Manors in Broward County has grown into a bustling, vibrant LGBT+ hub. Recently named the “Second Gayest City” in the United States, Wilton Manors celebrates a diverse population of approximately 12,000 residents with an all-gay city commission comprised of Mayor Justin S. Flippen, Vice Mayor Tom Green, Commissioner Gary Resnick, Commissioner Julie A. Carson and Commissioner Paul Rolli who set leadership examples for younger LGBT+ activists and advocates. For the fifth consecutive year, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has awarded Wilton Manors with a perfect score of 100 in the HRC’s Municipal Equality Index (MEI). It is also an “MEI All-Star,” receiving a high score in a state without LGBT+ supportive laws. The City of Wilton Manors offers shopping, hip restaurants and bars, a burgeoning arts community and numerous community events, yet still maintains a cozy, community-feeling offering miles of natural waterways perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and other outdoor activities.

This collaborative effort between the Harvey Milk Foundation and The Pride Center at Equality Park, along with generous support from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, has put South Florida on the international stage of LGBT+ rights and activism in honor of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States who was assassinated shortly after winning a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. This year marks the 41st anniversary of Harvey Milk’s historic service.

“It is a privilege for Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood to present, produce and celebrate the fifth anniversary of Diversity Honors,” said Susan Renneisen, vice president of community affairs and special events for Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. “A sold-out event every year, we are humbled by the growing support for this initiative that highlights tolerance, acceptance and leadership for change to ensure equality, inclusiveness and a higher quality of life for LGBT+ communities across the globe.��

Over the years, Diversity Honors has paid tribute to an impressive roster of honorees including civil rights activists Dolores Huerta, president and founder of the Dolores Huerta Foundation and co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America with Cesar Chavez, and Judy and Dennis Shepard, recipients of the Harvey Milk Foundation Honors Medal; Bollywood star Celina Jaitly and Ireland Senator Dr. David Norris who both received the Harvey Milk Foundation’s Lilla Watson Global Champion Medal; the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Gay-Straight Alliance, transgender YouTube viral inspiration Ryland Whittington, and transgender teen activist Jazz Jennings – all recipients of the annual Harvey Milk Foundation Milan Rozsa Award plus singer/actress Deborah Cox, Judge Rand Hoch, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mayor Dean Trantalis, Patrick Piana, CEO of Stoli Group USA and others.

Artistic Director – New York City Gay Men’s Chorus

The AD will devise and implement an innovative, transformational, and relevant artistic strategy. The strategy will be in line with the mission, vision, and values as a leading organization within the field of LGBTQ performing arts in New York as well as nationally and internationally.

Organization Big Apple Performing Arts (BAPA) is an LGBTQ-identified organization that serves as the nonprofit umbrella management company for New York City Gay Men’s Chorus (NYCGMC), Youth Pride Chorus, the pop a cappella band Tonewall, and various subgroups. BAPA’s mission is to create and manage ensembles that achieve choral and performance artistic excellence, provide a safe and supportive space, and use the performing arts to bring people together, change lives, combat fear and hatred, and challenge perceptions of the LGBTQ community.

Founded in 1979, NYCGMC is a world-class, world-renowned New York institution and a pioneering voice for the LGBTQ community. It is comprised of approximately 300 talented volunteer singers of various ages, backgrounds, and experiences, across a spectrum of gender identity and sexual orientations. It produces a vibrant sound and energy that audiences can feel and with which they can connect. Through the power of its sound and spectacular performances, NYCGMC and its members are fearless champions for love, equality, and acceptance. NYCGMC has formed a strong bond with devoted followers and continues to make lasting connections with new and diverse audiences. It sings in every style—from classical to pop, Broadway to gospel—from cultures all over the world. As a collective group of artists, NYCGMC listens to the changing world and transforms what it hears into music. NYCGMC sings to challenge perceptions of the LGBTQ community, combat fear and hatred, encourage compassion and human connection, and thrill its audiences with the superb quality of its sound. Through its music, audiences mourn losses, cheer victories, find unconditional acceptance, and celebrate life.

NYCGMC performs at a variety of settings, including concerts, festivals, conferences, weddings, parties, fundraisers, and community, special, private, and corporate events. It has also made several appearances in Broadway/theater productions and on television programs, such as Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and Last Week Tonight, providing a national platform for its mission. It annually performs three mainstage shows per year—a holiday concert in December, a fun and upbeat pop show in March (currently billed as Big Gay Sing, now in its 11th year), and a pride-themed show in May/June. NYCGMC conducts more than 40 outreach activities across all five boroughs and beyond. Its school programs reach more than 2,000 New York City public middle school students. Other outreach activities include performances and events at corporate and public pride celebrations, LGBTQ teen homeless shelters, and SAGE, the country’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ elders. Through technical assistance and joint concerts, NYCGMC supports the development of LGBTQ choruses in the United States and internationally. Every four years, NYCGMC attends the GALA Festival, hosted by the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses, and is regularly called upon to lend its voices in moments of need for the community.

NYCGMC is also a pioneer of choral music, commissioning more than 75 new works from more than 50 composers, including Leonard Bernstein, Ann Hampton Callaway, Joseph Jennings, Stephen Sondheim, James Adler, David Hurd, and Conrad Susa. Performances have included appearances in more than a dozen states, throughout the Caribbean, and internationally in London, Dublin, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Cologne, Berlin, Munich, Barcelona, Montreal, and Paris. NYCGMC has appeared in all of the iconic New York City performance sites, including Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, and the Apollo Theater.

NYCGMC commemorates its 40th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising with a new choral music suite co-commissioned by NYCGMC and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles. Quiet No More: A Choral Celebration of Stonewall50 marks the occasion of the first ever WorldPride NYC and celebrates the vast legacy and worldwide change that started from events in June 1969—the effects of which are still as vital today as they were 50 years ago. The largest collaboration in LGBTQ chorus history, this piece will have performances by choruses throughout the United States in 2019. More than 400 singers from across the country will be seen on stage at the Carnegie Hall performance, which will feature the voices of diverse LGBTQ composers, including Julian Hornik (Dear Evan Hansen), Our Lady J (Pose and Transparent), Michael Shaieb (Through a Glass Darkly), Ann Hampton Callaway (singer/song-writer), Michael McElroy (Broadway Inspirational Voices, Rent), and Jane Ramseyer Miller (One Voice Chorus).

Operated jointly by BAPA and the Center Youth program of the LGBT Community Center of New York, Youth Pride Chorus (YPC) is one of only a few youth choruses of its kind in the world. YPC harnesses the power of the performing arts to engage lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight young people ages 13 to 22 as agents of change. It is comprised of up to 40 LGBTQ youth from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. Many come from low-income families and neighborhoods in the five boroughs of New York City, have experienced intense prejudice from their peers, schools, and families, and no longer even live at home. Many YPC members have also never sung in public and truly find their voice by being welcomed into the YPC family. YPC members benefit from learning the discipline required for music training and performing, all within the safe space of a strong community where they feel accepted and proud. YPC fights homophobia, bullying, and all forms of hate through music by boldly asserting the joy, diversity, strength, and pride of today’s youth. YPC singers discover their own strength by empowering others in schools, online, and in the broader community through electrifying, high caliber singing and performances. YPC has performed at the White House’s annual Pride event, on Broadway with Kristin Chenoweth, and at Radio City Music Hall with Cyndi Lauper.

BAPA has a 15-member board of directors and an annual operating budget of slightly more than $1 million. BAPA’s administrative staff includes the Executive Director (ED) and its artistic team includes the Artistic Director, Assistant Conductor, and Accompanist, along with tremendous volunteer support from a Production Manager, Dance Team Choreographer, and numerous committees that support BAPA and its operating choruses.

Position Summary The Artistic Director will devise and implement an innovative, transformational, and relevant artistic strategy for BAPA. The strategy will be in line with BAPA’s mission, vision, and values as a leading organization within the field of LGBTQ performing arts in New York as well as nationally and internationally. The Artistic Director will be a visible leader and ambassador who oversees all artistic activities of BAPA’s performing groups, educational programs, and social action efforts. This individual will also serve as NYCGMC’s principal conductor for rehearsals, artistic retreats, and a variety of performances. Working in partnership with the ED and Membership and Social Team Chair (MAST Chair), each of whom reports to the board of directors as BAPA’s Managing Body, the Artistic Director will guide the planning and execution of an artistic vision that advances LGBTQ initiatives, develops strategic alliances, cultivates commissioning concepts, engages exemplary guest artists, and mentors and builds morale among singers who have varying levels of experience and education in music. This individual will represent NYCGMC at various GALA events and participate in donor cultivation activities, press and community relations events, and board meetings.
