Jennifer Beals speaks at the Center's Women's Event 11

http://www.gaycenter.org - Jennifer Beals, an actor on "The L Word", spoke at Women's Event 11, a gala benefiting The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of New York City. Inspired by a women's gala at Clinton's presidential inauguration, the Center hosted its first Women's Event gala dinner and dance at the Hammerstein Ballroom in 1998. In 2008 the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center was thrilled to celebrate our 11th annual Women's Event and the 25th anniversary of our organization.

Jeniffer is so talented and charming. She is truly a lovely person. We are blessed to have her supporting gay rights. She is a great speaker and I thank you for posting this video. The L-Word made history and open a lot of doors for the gay community.

@NFrostick87 no it is ok lol im happy that there is another person in the world that would stick up 4 her like i do ahahaha and thanks to you i found the nasty message that my friend rote lol!!!

[NFrostick87]

@JennSicky Haha embarrased much!! and there's me going on in a rant.I apologise....jus thought it was crazy that ne1 could knock her down :p

[JennSicky]

@NFrostick87 OMG!!! hahaha this was not even me it was my friend she is gay as so am i, she just did that to be a bitch cuz im like in love with jennifer beals and that is what she thinks about her like Jennifer is my idol ik every thing about her but i must have been loged in when she came over and did that :P

[NFrostick87]

@JennSicky and I'm gay myself, she doesn't have to take the time out she does to support gay rights but she does, her being straight gives more impetus for straight people who don't support gay rights to listen-to understand we all live in the same world and should respect eachother..sexuality shouldn't come into it - "get back to her wonderful hetero life" you sound a little bitter :p..n kinder contradicting wha d gay movement's about. no offence, jus feel she deserve credit not the opposite :)

[NFrostick87]

@JennSicky someone being a bit prejudice hmm, the issue is getting heterosexuals to accept gay people n that we are all human and should live as equals...Jeniffer is a devoted passionate supporter of that, then your saying stuff like..no it should be a lesbian up there, she dont know what it like to be lesbian..Hello, doesn't mean being hetero she then can't have an understanding of inequality. Lesbians should be grateful she uses her position of having been in the lword to promote gay rights

[JennSicky]

i'm happy for Jennifer Beals for geting up on stage and what is this we shit does she really thing because she was on the l word she knows what being a lesbian feels like, i like her and she is a good actress and all but she thinks she knows it all but she dont know a thing about the lesbian life u know there should be a person up there like a LESBIAN she just should get back to her wonder full hedro life.PS. i liked the little fake cry like i said she is a good actress but no this time hunny!!

im pleased to see anyone excited about politics and the presidential election. However its always sad to see this now, years after the election and see no change has occured with Obama. Sadly the economy is even worse off now than it was years ago. California unemployment was about 13% last i checked, Nevada was over 14%.
