Lambda Legal Defense honors Cumming

Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund presents its 15th Annual Liberty Awards on Tuesday, October 2nd at the Director’s Guild of America in Los Angeles. Topping the list of this year’s celebrated honorees is actor Alan Cumming for his distinguished career and as an LGBT activist and champion for civil marriage equality.

Great to see Cumming getting some recognition for his work for LGBT causes. The man certainly keeps busy. (You may not be familiar with Cumming's cheeky line of cologne, of which a portion of the proceeds goes to charity. Worth checking out is his ad for "Cumming: The Fragrance," which appears after the break. In it, the pasty Scottish actor transforms himself into a sex symbol by sheer chutzpah alone. Mesmerizing and quite funny.)

Also being honored at the event are David Bohnett for improving society through social activism and philanthropy including his generous support of LGBT organizations; Reverend Susan Russell for effectively advocating for full inclusion of LGBT people in the Episcopal Church, including the blessing of same sex unions; and Hilton Hotels for their excellent record of workplace diversity as well as their dedication and hospitality to the LGBT community.
