Prop 8 has been ruled unconstitutional and Broadway Impact celebrated this week, August 9th at Therapy Bar. This historic landmark decision is a huge step forward towards full equality under the law for all Americans. BroadwayWorld was on hand to celebrate with the Broadway community and brings you photo coverage below!
Broadway Impact was joined by a growing list of Television and Broadway performers including Tony nominee Hunter Bell, Heidi Blickenstaff and Susan Blackwell from [Title of Show], Cast members from the Tony award winning musicals Memphis and La Cage aux Folles including Nick Adams, Actors Shayna Steele, Will Taylor, Jose Llana and Jason Tam. The evening also featured a Q & A by Richard Socarides (Former Advisor to President Clinton), Newly crowned Miss New York Claire Buffie (she is running on a gay rights platform for the first time in Miss America history), and more.
