It's no secret that the Ali Forney Center, helmed by Instinct Leading Man Carl Siciliano, is one of our favorite organizations. They do consistent invaluable work providing shelter to homeless LGBT youth and working as advocates for LGBT youth and young adults.
In conjunction with their 10-year anniversary, they're also hosting their 3rd annual summer fundraising benefit, Oasis, with Barclays acting as the presenting sponsor for the 2nd year in a row.
Now who could be the host for such an auspicious occasion? How about the one and only, Parker Posey?!
