The Sunset Strip lit up Tuesday night as the winners, nominees and voters of the 2019 Queerties celebrated at Hyde on Sunset, honoring the queer community’s brightest innovators. Stars, social media mavens and journalists converged on the Los Angeles nightclub to mingle, enjoy a SKYY Vodka cocktail, and honor the best in LGBTQ media and entertainment.
The awards ceremony included a special appearance by Nico Tortorella, and host Manila Luzon brought down the house with some Barbra Streisand-inspired drag that had everyone wondering… “Papa, can you hear me?!”
