Edie Windsor Receives the First-Ever Absolute Brightness Award

James Lecesne, playwright and star of The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey and cofounder of the LGBTQ organization the Trevor Project, presented civil rights activist Edie Windsor with the first-ever Absolute Brightness Award last night at the Westside Theatre where Lecesne's solo show is now in performances.

The award will be presented monthly to "a unique individual who is a shining beacon in their community, and an inspiration to live as your truest self." A hero of the LGBTQ cause, Windsor is best known for promulgating the landmark United States v. Windsor Supreme Court case. Take a look at Lecesne and Windsor as they celebrate the special evening after the show.
