[JERRY]
Good evening, ladies and lesbians, and welcome to Out
Fronts Third Annual Power Party. I want to thank you all
so much for coming out tonight, a night in which we honor
the incredible work that every single one of you here has
performed this year, and pay homage to all the progress
weve made over the years in the fight for civil rights.

Our goal this evening the goal weve been working so
very hard on is to ensure that you know that we know
where all this progress comes from and to allow you a
night of rest and libations as we celebrate your
achievements under one roof.

As you came in, you no doubt saw the items up for bid in
the silent auction, which brings me to a critical moment in
our event:

In our continued thanks to everyone working hard to make
a difference out here, wed like to place a special kind of
emphasis on the assistance that businesses contribute to
the fight for LGBT civil rights. They are an ally on so many
fronts, from their donations to the very idea that theyre
going public with their support of our community. In some
places, thats a risky, risky move so we want to publicly
support them right back.

These are folks who put boots on the ground right next to
us, providing much-needed safe havens and wide-
reaching financial assistance.

Some of the supporters of the Power Party and the LGBT
community at large are:

Exdo Events Center
Mindful
The Cooper Lounge and Terminal Bar in Union Station
Kroenke Sports Charities and the Denver Nuggets
Good Chemistry
Pink Monkey
LifeStyles Catering
Bud Light
and Metropolitan State University

[CUE METRO STATE VIDEO]

[JERRY]

Its with the help of all contributors great and small that we
move mountains and thats no exaggeration.

The silent auction being held tonight comes to us courtesy
of the generosity of donors who also wanted to show their
support. As you bid, you can rest assured that all
proceeds go to One Colorado, which is dedicated to the
progression of a wide array of LGBT issues ranging from
healthcare to education.

Ill tell you: Its hard to convey just how difficult it is for the
team to whittle the list down to a fraction of the nominees
we receive each year, but in the midst of the madness, its
always nice to stop and reflect on the fact that there are
so many people out there worthy of nomination. With
such a wide array of nominees, theres a deep
reassurance that people truly are paying attention to the
hard work going on around them, and theyre
acknowledging one another by saying, I literally feel you
deserve an award.
So allow us to step forward and do our part as your
devoted friends in media to honor and spread the word
about the amazing things you do. Its our passion. Its our
job. Its our pleasure.

And because of this, we at Out Front know the struggle.
Some days, youre slamming your hand on the alarm clock
and crawling out of bed to do something that feels so
insignificant in that moment, you wonder if it even matters.

Its not the easiest thing, well admit it. Any number of
excuses might suffice when at the end of your work day
you really just want to go home and pour a glass of red
(or bourbon, if youre a lesbian) and take the night off. But
you dont. You put on your best face, you walk into that
office or head into that volunteer space, and you grab the
torch running.

Or as our marketing executive, Topher, would say:

You channel your inner Debbie Reynolds: Boobs out,
chin up. Its showtime.



Before we get the show started, though, Id like to
introduce you to the team at Out Front.

[OUT FRONT VIDEO]

[JERRY]

(do we wanna just say our names, so it goes by fast?)

Theres Jay Duque, who we just met. Jay is largely
responsible for this event coming together so fabulously
and we thank him.

Berlin Sylvestre is our editor who works in tandem with
Colby Brumit to ensure a beautiful and entertaining
product twice a month. If you read a news article online,
chances are Rob Barger, our digital content manager,
brought you the scoop.

Theres Lis Porreco, our operations manager, who glues
the office together.

Dustin Krier, our Marketing Director, helps keep the lights
on, as does our Senior Marketing executive Jordan
Jacobs and Topher boobs out LaFleur.

Thats the Out Front team. Day in and day out, they work
their fingers to the bone and brains into the drink to bring
you the issue twice a month while establishing LGBT
presence round the clock.





[JERRY]


To take the fundraising for One Colorado to the next level,
weve got a raffle going on.

One Colorado has been instrumental in moving our cause
forward, and being that the midterm elections are at hand, nows
a great time to give them that extra push. Id like to remind
everyone that the vote takes place November 4
th
, so make sure
youre registered and amped up to do your civic duty.

(do you wanna do your football analogy here?)

Again, thank you all for being here. Your presence is, yet
again, a symbol of your commitment. They say its in the
little things that we all make a difference, so I hope this
thank you is one of the little things that Out Front can
give right back.

This is why were here.

This is for you, ladies and gentlemen.

So boobs out! Chin up!

Its showtime!


Now, without further ado, Id like to introduce the hosts for
the evening, and put you In Focus with Eden Lane and
9News Kevin Torres.

[KEVIN]
Its easy to watch politicians signing important legislation
into law, and think to ourselves: Now theres someone
whos getting things done. Why cant my work be more like
that? But even theyll tell you: Without your help,
absolutely nothing gets accomplished.

What you do for your community takes constant tenacity,
passion, and commitment and it truly does make a
difference. Tonight, we shine a light on your dedication.

[EDEN]
Take a look around you. We have Senator Pat Steadman
in the house. Over there is Clela Rorex, and Speaker of
the House Mark Ferrandino is joining the fray.

*probably big applause*

Youre in good company, because you are good company.
So to celebrate just how much we admire everything
youve done to progress the issues that move our
community forward, we raise our glasses in a unanimous,
community-wide thank you and hope you enjoy yourself
at Out Fronts 2014 Power Awards ceremony.

This week, we got a taste of the cold weather to come,
and the team at Out Front hastily began dreaming up their
warm-weather getaway. In case anyone feels like fleeing
the freeze as well, were offering right now, via live
auction a Palm Springs, California vacation courtesy of
Dr. Raymond Frye of Smile High Dental. The gated house
is a 3-bedroom/3-bathroom oasis exquisitely outfitted with
a saline pool, 6-foot glass firepit, mountain-view, and
gourmet chefs kitchen. Its a five-star property with top-
notch amenities.

If youd like to bid, simply raise your hand and well
consider it your commitment. Proceeds from the live
auction will also benefit One Colorado.

[KEVIN]
The bidding starts at $1000. Do we have $1000?

[AUCTION]

[EDEN]
Congratulations to our winner, and wed like to thank
Smile High and Dr. Frye for this opportunity. The silent
auction ends soon, so dont forget to check your bids.
Were thankful for the items donated, and for our other

When the team at Out Front heard our next presenter was
keen to make an appearance, they nearly fell out of their
seats.

[EDEN]
In March of 1975, only three months in to her job as
Boulder County Clerk, newly-elected Clela Rorex issued
one of the first same-sex marriage licenses in the country
and sparked a furor of controversy worldwide. In spite of
death threats and calls for her resignation, she never once
apologized to anyone for her brave decision. If asked to do
it again, she doesnt hesitate to say she wouldnt change a
thing.

Ladies and gentlemen Ms. Clela Rorex.

Ladies and gentlemen, lets hear it one more time for the
2014 Out Front Power Award Recipients.

Quickly, wed like to thank all of the sponsors of tonights
event with a nod toward Mindful and Metro State
University for the extra considerations.

Id also like to offer an infinite amount of honorable
mentions for all the people in our community whove been
working just as hard as our recipients and everyone in the
room tonight, and to let everyone know that we aim to
continue honoring their work through our coverage and in-
person recognition throughout the year.

Now before we take off and hit the afterparty, I just wanna
say ...

I know, from time to time, it can be tough to see the big
picture when youre so close to the canvas. Its all-too-
easy to feel overwhelmed like nothings getting done,
but in spite of that, you dont quit. Youre all lionhearted
heroes in an uphill battle.

I just hope that, as you continue the journey youre on, this
event will be a reminder that were out here ... right
alongside you ... and were watching in awe of the many,
many wonderful things you do for the community.

As you get back to the grind Monday morning, dont forget
to look up from time to time and recognize the efforts of
others in the fight. Maybe its an appreciative email or a
solid pat on the back.

Its all in the little things, right?

Thanks for coming out.
