Every year at the Empire State Pride Agenda’s Hampton Tea Dance I think two things:

#1 – There’s no way this party can get any better

#2 – There’s no way DJ Lady Bunny’s hair can get any bigger

Every year I am proven wrong.

This year the Tea Dance celebrated its 22nd anniversary, which speaks to it’s longevity and popularity.  Empire State Pride Agenda Executive Director Nathan Schaefer shared that it was another important year for the organization.  ESPA is especially proud of the legislation passed in the New York State Assembly to ban conversion therapy for minors. And as of this writing, 19 states have legalized gay marriage.  (There were several newly married couples in the crowd.)

Young and old, gay and straight, everyone was enjoying the perfect weather and classic dance music.

Fabulous event. Fabulous people.  Fabulous cause.   Nuf said.
