Broadway Speaks OUT was formed by Marti Gould Cummings and his partner Anthony Hollock in Fall 2008 after Proposition 8 took place in California, denying thousands of couples the right to marry.

The two started a talk show online by interviewing friends of theirs who have appeared on Broadway. This grew into a very successful endeavor, leading to a hit concert series which benefits LGBT organizations in NYC.

Broadway Speaks OUT! has attended The Tony Awards, The Drama Desk Awards, and the Logos NewNowNext Awards, and has had the opportunity to interview the likes of Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler,Audra McDonald, Gavin Creel, Rosie ODonnell, and countless others about how their careers are helping to pave the way for LGBT Equality.

In addition to this red carpet coverage, BSO! has a weekly live show hosted by Marti, Anthony, and David Singletary. This show brings in thousands of viewers every Tuesday night at 10pm. The topics discussed cover a wide variety of hot topics relating to the mission of BSO!

The Broadway Speaks OUT! Concert series has benefited organizations such as Broadway Impact and The Ali Forney Center for Homeless LGBT Youth. Each concert features a wide variety of TV Stars and Broadway entertainers. Each performer brings their uniqueness to the stage by performing songs or giving inspirational speeches about why equality is important for all people. BSO has raised thousands of dollars to help the fight for Equality in NYC, they are now taking the show on the road and will be hosting benefits in LA, Chicago, & London in 2010.
