See the Broadway Beauty Pageant and help homeless LGBT youth for only 25 smackers

Next Monday an annual event raising money for the Ali Forney Center for NYC homeless gay youth brings Broadway's best beef to market: the Broadway Beauty Pageant sends up Miss America and friends by asking the hottest fellas of the Great White Way to strut their stuff as they compete for the tiara.

This year's competition features host Tovah Feldshuh and guest judges like Charles Busch, Ana Gasteyer, Seth Rudesky and Beth Leavel, and of course a bevy of chorus boys pageant-waving, show-tuning and swimsuit-strutting their way into your hearts ... and dreams.

Times are tough all around, and the organizers have just announced a special discounted $25 ticket for those who want to help the center and take in all the fun. A few pics from last year can be found below (lots more over yonder), and be sure to check out the event's website to find out more about this fun and worthy cause.
