55 Pics of the Center's Queer Masquerade Extravaganza

Hundreds of masked guests attended MASQ, an annual fundraiser for New York City's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. The Saturday event was themed to invoke the Club Kid era when artists and future '80s icons were showing up as regulars in dark boxes and crowded bars and setting aside the perceived boundaries of gender. Hosted by the Williamsburg Hotel, the party featured Limelight-ian performances and music spun by DJ BBARI. Learn more about the center's work supporting New York's LGBTQ community at GayCenter.org.
