Cleve Jones knew that the internet would revolutionize the way that the Equality March was organized, and he was right. It takes but moments to make hundreds of thousands of people aware of any event and then allows you to keep them actively updated and engaged with its progression. Social networks like Facebook are particularly useful for events such as this because they act as both informers and influencers. All month, and particularly all of last week I could see which of my friends were going to the march, how they were getting there, not to mention all the additional activities and parties they planned on attending while there. I couldn’t help but feel like maybe I was missing out.

Some of the biggest names in GLBT literature held court at the 21st annual Lamba Literary Awards hosted by Scott Nevins on Thursday night. Their names may not be familiar but their literary impact cannot be underscored enough. Everyone from past Lammy winners like Lambda Board Chair Christopher Rice, to our current obsession Dennis Cooper, to Edmund White, to one of our favorites Andrew Holleran, to Felice Picano, to Scott Heim, to up-and-coming new voices like Shawn Ruff and my friend and NYTimes columnist Bob Morris. If you’ve never read any of the nominated books, I suggest you take a look at the winners list. You won’t be disappointed. Who says 20-somethings don’t read? We saw plenty of young faces. And pictures don’t lie. Photos by Homo-Neurotics SMHayhurst and Shutterbug.
