Lizzo Surprises Out100 Honoree With Special Ball Gown
If one were to think that right-wing criticism of music master Lizzo would get her down, one would be mistaken. Instead, the vocal powerhouse and accomplished flutist who recently got the opportunity to play a priceless crystal flute given to former president James Madison engaged in the act of kindness that she described as "too easy."As one of the honorees on this year's Out100 list, Aurielle Marie encountered one problem in advance of Out's gala held Wednesday at New York City hotspot Nebula: they needed an outfit.
Out is a sibling publication of The Advocate, owned by equalpride."I'm in a little dress that was sent to me by everyone's favorite singer, Lizzo, and I'm with my good friends," poet Aurielle Marie told The Advocate Channel's Cara Glass from the gala.
The Advocate Channel is also part of the equalpride family.They explained their amazement that last year the poet had authored the book Gumbo Ya Ya: Poems and now found themselves among "the top 100 gay people in the country.""I think LGBTQ people are the culture keepers.
We're the wisdom tellers. We're the storytellers. We are not just counter-cultural; we are the culture. Queer people across the country and across the world are at the front lines fighting for what's right.
