Ooh la la: The word is that HRC's viewing party to kick of the final season of Showtime's "L-Word" series was the place to be on January 18. You know you've got a hot party on your hands when the
ladies are lined up down the block to get in:
More than 400 women turned out when Human Rights Campaign and Showtime presented the premiere of sixth and final season of the popular lesbian drama “The L-Word” on Sunday, Jan. 18 at S4 in Dallas. The event brought in more than $6,000 to benefit HRC equality outreach programs, organizers said. It also served as an HRC membership drive, and several new members joined, they added. Dee Pennington, an HRC Board of Governors member and “The L-Word” event co-chair, said organizers “were amazed by the turnout and generosity this year. Women were lined up at the door three hours before start time.” ...John Harrington, Pennington’s co-chair for “The-L Word” premiere party, said: “Thanks to attendees at programs like ‘The L-Word’ premiere, we are able to continue our work in the areas of diversity and political training and to provide scholarships to send members with financial need to D.C. for training and lobbying.”
(And here's a wicked little thought: Any hopes that we can convince HRC to host viewing parties for the next season of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta"?! I'm sure there are more than a few queens people out there who can't wait to see what kind of antics NeNe and Dwight serve up next!)
