“Wendi McLendon-Covey hosting the annual West Coast Liberty Awards
“Wendi McLendon-Covey will be hosting the annual West Coast Liberty Awards at The Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday, June 11, Lambda Legal told TheWrap exclusively.
“Wendi McLendon-Covey is a committed ally and advocate for equality and her humor and passion will make for a great evening as we celebrate those making a positive impact in our community,” said Lambda Legal’s Western Regional Director, Rick Davis, in a statement.
McLendon-Covey has been an outspoken supporter of the LGBT community. She spoke out on the Boy Scouts of America ban on gay scouts and leaders, which Lambda Legal argued all the way to the US Supreme Court, and has supported MIX NYC & Queer Experimental Film and the Outfest fusion LGBT People of Color Film Festival Achievement Awards.
“I was so honored and immediately said yes when I was asked to host this year,” said the actress. “I have always been very supportive and have so many friends and family that are active in the community so I really wanted to be a part of this year’s West Coast Liberty Awards.”
