Workplace advocates Out & Equal will hold their 6th annual gala on April 25 to celebrate heroes of the LGBT equality movement. ‘Momentum’ will be staged at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco with Brigadier General Tammy Smith, the highest ranking openly lesbian officer in the US military, receiving the organization’s Advocacy Award.
The event aims to build on the current acceleration in discussion on LGBT equality and celebrate advances made in the prior year, according to Witherington.
