Last Night's Hot Ticket: OUT Magazine's OUT100 Gala
The stars came out for last night's 2013 Out100 Gala! Held at Terminal 5 in NYC, many of the night's biggest honorees stepped out to celebrate an amazing year for the LGBT community. While those honored included everyone from actors to activists, the night's biggest winner was director Lee Daniels, who was presented with the "Entertainer of the Year" award by none other than Mimi herself, Mariah Carey.

See what some of the night's biggest honorees had to say in the gallery below.
Debbie Harry
She’s still got it! Debbie Harry (AKA the goddess from Blondie) turned it out in a rose-patterned pant suit for the big night. When asked how she chose her ensemble, she explained, “Well, we have a new album coming out and the first single is called 'A Rose By Any Name'—So I thought I’d rose it up!” And rose it up she did!
OUT 100 Honoree (and star of HBO's new show Looking) Jonathan Groff lit up the red carpet with those pearly whites.
Maulik Pancholy has a lot to celebrate! The former 30 Rock star formally came out in this month's special issue of OUT Magazine.
The OUT 100 Gala was hosted by Michael Urie, who admitted that the night's hosting duties were a little daunting! The Ugly Betty star explained, "I'm a little nervous! I'm introducing Debbie Harry which is pretty exciting." He added, "Every year OUT Magazine elevates their list with influential members of the LGBT community."
American Horror Story star Denis O'Hare was thrilled to be one of the 100 honorees. When asked about what he was most excited to celebrate, the veteran actor explained, "I think it's a great example of the breadth of our community. Our community is everything from high to low: Entertainers, scientists, activists, politicians. And I think it's important to just stay out— reiterate that we are parents... I am a parent. I am married...we are married. We are part of the community, we are related to you."

Ru Paul's Drag Race favorite Sharon Needles brought her A-Game (and her brain?) to the 19th Annual Gala.
Of the 100 influential people honored, who was honoree Paul Iacono most excited to see? "The fact that Edie Windsor is here... when our great great grandkids open history textbooks and read about why same sex marriage is possible, they are going to read about her! I can't believe that I'm walking a carpet with history."
