Ivanka, you can change the lives of millions of women and children just by telling your dad stories about real people who are suffering. Don’t let him separate immigrant mothers from their American-born children. Don’t let him take healthcare away from women who need it.And her remarks were just one part of an evening that began as a mix of celebration, frustration, and resilience that was not lost on the stars or guests. Blue ampersand pins symbolized the night’s “Together” theme, linking human rights activism across women’s, immigrant, LGBTQ labels. In addition to Messing, the star-studded gala at the Hilton Midtown also featured Whoopi Goldberg — who won Outstanding Reality Program for her trans modeling show, Strut, which she executive produced —in addition to Star Trek’s Zachary Quinto, Christian Slater, Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah and actress and entrepreneur Angelica Ross — who together won for Outstanding Talk Show episode, for The Daily Show — author Janet Mock — who has a new memoir, Surpassing Certainty, out soon — as well as CNN’s out anchor Don Lemon and YouTube sensation Gigi Gorgeous. Although the evening was filled with jabs at the sitting president, this night wasn’t just about attacking Trump. There was plenty of that, but it felt bigger, because together we are bigger.
