Tonight my friend Jeffrey (Entertainment editor at US Weekly Magazine!) and I attended a benefit for Lifeworks GLBT Youth Mentoring, a great program that pairs a GLBT mentor doing well in their career with a GLBT young person.

Jeffrey was there to interview Ellen Pompeo, who plays “Grey” on “Grey’s Anatomy”. She was beautiful, friendly and funny. John Amaechi, the first out gay NBA player, was there, too. He and Ellen gave some remarks during a brief presentation, and both were well spoken.
