Red Carpet Interviews with Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka, Sean Maher, Peter Paige, Mike Manning and More!

It was a celebratory affair Saturday night in downtown Los Angeles as the LA Gay & Lesbian Center celebrated its 40th anniversary with a Gala and Auction at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.

With the always entertaining Leslie Jordan hosting the night, the Board of Directors Award was given to Chaz Bono (presented by his Dancing With The Stars competitor David Arquette). Meanwhile, couple David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris were on hand to accept the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award (presented by last year’s recipient, Jane Lynch).
