New York -
On Saturday, March 17, 2012 New Yorkers will be treated to a special, one night only performance by Tony Award winner and Emmy nominee Alan Cumming. The intimate musical evening, hosted at XL Nightclub & Cabaret, will benefit the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC). A 22-year-old organization, IGLHRC works tirelessly both on the ground and at the United Nations level to promote LGBT rights, justice and safety. With offices throughout the world, IGLHRC advocates for change at the country, regional and international level. IGLHRC is also dedicated to strengthening the capacity of LGBT human rights movements to conduct documentation of LGBT human rights violations. Backlash against increased visibility for LGBT rights struggles has made the need to support emerging rights movements even more vital, as every day, LGBT people still face harassment, arbitrary arrest and detention, separation from partners and children, and even murder, simply for trying to live with dignity and honesty.
All are welcome to join Alan Cumming and IGLHRC in the fight for equal rights for everyone, everywhere at www.iglhrc.org.
