GLAAD Throws a party to honor all the Film Nominees

Last night GLAAD - The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation - held a lovely cocktail soiree to honor the feature films nominated this year.  It was held at a gorgeous house way up in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Lake Hollywood, The Hollywood Sign, the Griffith Observatory and downtown.

Representatives from the following features were there:  Milk, Shelter, Save Me, Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom and Edge of Heaven.  To complete the celebration of lgbt positive film representations, Thea Gill and Robert Gant from Queer as Folk were also there, as well as the Nick Oceano and Alex Loynaz of MTV's Pedro*,  uber new queer cinema king Greg Araki (Mysterious Skin, The Living End) and Mr. Wilson Cruz.
