A NOTE FROM OUR CEO

SPACE HOLDERS • Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about “holding space.” The term spiked in popularity after my colleague Tracy E. Gilchrist — a vice president at Out’s parent company, equalpride, and the writer of last issue’s Out100 cover story with Cynthia Erivo — went viral for telling the Wicked star that folks are “holding space for the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity.’”

Proudly sponsored by Lexus — as well as Hornitos Tequila, Gilead, and McDonald’s — the event hosted by honoree Sam Champion and Sonia Baghdady toasted its 30th anniversary at NeueHouse Hollywood and also honored Sheryl Lee Ralph as Advocate of the Year. See some of the Out100’s starry guests ahead.
