A star-studded cast has been lined up by the iconic Stonewall Inn in New York for a streaming concert on June 1st to kick off this year’s Pride Month. It’s a Benefit for The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Safe Spaces Initiatives which has been established to identify and designate entertainment venues, food and beverage locations, stores, businesses, and other public venues, as safe spaces for LGBTQ members of the community.
Presenters and performers confirmed include Billy Eichner, Chelsea Clinton, Margaret Cho, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Julianne Moore, Fran Drescher, Lea DeLaria, Alexandra Billings, Beto O’Rourke, Amy Poehler, Randy Rainbow, Jordin Sparks, Lance Bass, Sophia Bush, Jackie Cox, Sasha Velour, Debra Messing, Laith Ashley, Omar Sharif Jr., Rita Wilson, André De Shields and more.
“The Stonewall Inn is one of the original safe spaces, and it’s important that we create more Safe Spaces for the LGBTQA+ community across the country,” said Stonewall Inn co-owner Kurt Kelly.
The event, produced by Tom D’Angora, Michael D’Angora and Victoria Varela, is sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery, FCB Health New York, Hawkins Mikita, Jagermeister USA, Jennifer Brown Consulting, JetBlue, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Video Out.
The show will stream exclusively on Logo’s YouTube and Facebook next week. Jägermeister, one of SIGBI’s corporate sponsors, has already pledged to match donations up to $25,000 as part of its #SaveTheNight global initiative.
