“From advocacy and health initiatives to arts and culture, these changemakers are building a more inclusive, equitable, and resilient future for 2SLGBTQIA+ people,” said a press release about the event.
Founded in 1971, Pink Triangle Press is a not-for-profit 2SLGBTQIA+ media and content organization and the publisher of the online magazine Xtra. Its awards night is sure to dazzle with so many stars in attendance, but we noticed one entry in its fundraising auction that may be of interest to Swifties: an acoustic guitar signed by Taylor Swift herself.
While any teardrops on this guitar are not hers per se—a representative confirmed that the guitar hasn’t been played by Swift, though the signature is genuine—it’s still a neat collector’s item. (A hand-signed Swift photo was repurposed and applied to the guitar.)
Bidding starts at $2,550. Swifties, you have 15 days. And while you’re here, get into Beverly Glenn-Copeland.
