"OUT"—our voices

As we keep telling the kids, it does get better. And you can help it get that way tonight, by stopping by this multimedia exhibit and auction of works by photographer Carsten Fleck. Peruse 18 portraits of gay men and women and listen to their recorded coming-out stories, then bid on the works in a silent auction (7–9pm; proceeds will go to the Ali Forney Center in NYC, which provides safe housing for homeless LGBT youth). Be sure to stick around for a 9pm performance by the glamorous Imperial Court of New York. The kids would want you to.
