Lea DeLaria Instagram – On Friday November 3rd I was honored to receive the Trailblazer Award from @lgbtcenternyc at the annual Women’s Event. It has taken me a moment to acknowledge this accomplishment. I simply had to “dissect” all that awards such as this, mean in these very tumultuous times. I must thank my beautiful friend @sandragbernhard for being there and giving me the award with her trademark wit and wry humor. Thanks also are due to the absolutely hilarious @samjaycomic who graciously said yes when I asked her to host the event. We raised over 1.3M for this very worthy very queer very safe space and you both are a huge part of the reason why. Final thanks are due to my longtime manager @jelliclekatz of the @thekatzcompany. I could not have done ANYTHING I have done without you Jeremy. Right now women, especially queer women are under attack… what else is new. They, and by they, I mean, American fascist are trying to take away our rights. Fuck them. We are stronger than they know.
