The legal nightmares, which have afflicted all people who seek justice and equality, are over, especially our friends in the LGBTQ community, for whom we revel in knowing they all can sleep soundly now that their families and loved ones have full and equal protection under the law. We wish them all sweet dreams from this night forward.
Playbill has long been an ally and advocate for equality, standing side by side with members of the community we are so honored to represent. From our longstanding partnership with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Actors Fund, Family Equality Council, and others, along with our institution of the annual Playbill Pride issue, it is core to our personal and business ethos to fight for human rights — today, tomorrow and always.

Last year, Playbill made history with its first-ever commemorative Pride issue celebrating the dynamic voices of the LGBTQ community and pioneers of the stage. Nearly 1.3 million Playbills proudly displayed a new rainbow Playbill logo. All of Broadway is going rainbow again this year to commemorate Playbill Pride 2015, and we asked Broadway actors to show their pride by posing for pics with the special edition Playbills!
