Neil and David will be honored at L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala & Auction. The event will take place on Saturday November 12th at the Westin Bonaventure in LA. The event’s theme is “40 Years of Family” and David told eonline how honored they are. The official press release is here.

Harris and Burtka are steadfast supporters of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) organizations, including the Center. They’ve given generously to help LifeWorks, the Center’s youth development and mentoring program, thrive.

The two have been out publicly for years, and as the proud fathers of twins they’re the perfect pair to join the Center in celebrating “40 Years of Family” at the gala.

“We’re honored to be a part of this important celebration for the Center, which offers so many important services to LGBT youth and LGBT-parented families like ours,” Harris says. “The gala raises thousands of dollars to support services like meals and housing for homeless youth, a charter school for young people bullied and harassed in traditional schools, mentoring services and much more.”
