Gay Men’s Health Crisis held its annual
gala on October 2 at Cipriani
Wall Street, an event at which Governor
Andrew Cuomo was honored
with the Larry Kramer Activist Award.
Other honorees included attorney Roberta
Kaplan and MSNBC anchor Joy Reid. Kaplan,
the board chair at GMHC, is probably best
known for her representation of the late Edie
Windsor, arguing Windsor’s case before the US
Supreme Court, which resulted in the demise of
the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013. Kaplan is
a founder of Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP.
The evening’s emcee was comedian Judy Gold.
