"Home for the Holidays" on a Sunday afternoon...

I was on the guest list for Sunday afternoon's GLASS Youth and Family Services event 'Home for the Holidays,' honoring the memory of Matthew Shepard.

But I was in Yorba Linda helping my favorite six year old (my nephew) celebrate his birthday. I gave him a Spider-Man guitar along with the movie and my sister told me that he slept with the guitar last night. That face when he opened the presents! There's nowhere else I would have rather been.

Still, the GLASS event would have been lovely as it drew some of my favorite famous gay stars like T.R. Knight (love the short haircut!) who did attend the event at the GLASS Foster Youth Group Home in Los Angeles. It houses up to 17 homeless LGBT youth and also provides a drop-in center for homeless kids to use the computer, get a meal, take GED courses and find counseling.

Here are a few pics of the famous and fabulous attendees:

The ever-so-talented Wilson Cruz, star of television ,stage and screen...

The force of nature that is Alec Mapa, America's gaysian sweetheart...
