Pics from the first ever NewNowNext Awards

Wilson Cruz and Bridget McManus present Tila Tequila with her award 

Last night Logo (AfterElton's parent company, lest we forget) hosted the first ever NewNowNext Awards in NYC to celebrate LGBT entertainment in television, movies, fashion, music, and more. A slew of queer and queer-friendly celebs turned out for the event ... and somehow I got in as well, and managed to steal some time with the likes of Candis Cayne, Jack Mackenroth, Jensen Atwood, Patrik-Ian Polk, Colton Ford, Wilson Cruz, Ari Gold, Christian Siriano, and more.

I'll have some dish and arrival pics for you later this week, but for now here are a few images from the ceremony itself. Enjoy! (All pics courtesy of Getty Images)
