Over 700 people gathered for GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders (GLAD)’s 38th annual Summer Party in Provincetown, hosted by celebrity emcee and auctioneer Varla Jean Merman. GLAD honored community activist, author, actor, political humorist and emcee/auctioneer extraordinaire Kate Clinton for her decades-long contributions to the fight for LGBTQ equality. “Among the unalienable rights laid out in the Declaration of Independence, there is ‘life,’ there is ‘liberty’ but there is also the too oft-forgotten ‘pursuit of happiness,’” Clinton said in her acceptance. “Every coming out is, in essence, our pursuit of happiness. It is very courageous. It is what makes us so powerful and so dangerous.”
