Welcome to the Out 100
The theme of the 2010 Out 100 portfolio is “celebration.” In a year marked by battles won and lost, high hopes and bitter letdowns, we thought it important to focus on events that might not have been celebrations when they happened, but were pivotal in the evolution of the LGBT cause. So, we asked our honorees to recreate three such moments in recent history — Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball shot by legendary photographer Larry Fink, the Stonewall riots shot by Out 100 veteran Roger Erickson, and Studio 54 shot by Jason Schmidt.
In the coming days we will reveal select Out 100 honorees shot by each of the photographers and situated in each of the three celebrations. All 100 honorees, including our five amazing cover stars, will be revealed on November 11.
Continue to visit Out.com/Out100 every day to see new photos, read new bios, and celebrate the LGBT people of the year with us.
Here's Chris' photo and blurb. He's the first one they list.
Chris Colfer - Actor
It’s hard to imagine Glee without Kurt Hummel, the hit show’s resident countertenor and fashion iconoclast. But until director Ryan Murphy met Chris Colfer, who was auditioning for the role of Artie at the time, the character didn’t exist. Now it’s 20-year-old Colfer, in his first professional role, who is responsible for much of the show’s heavy lifting, giving it heart when it veers too far into fluff or farce and infusing it with panache and absurdity when things run too dark and hopeless—often in the same episode. Though only a nominee at last year’s Emmys, a recent episode that follows Kurt confronting the possible death of his father and greater issues of faith suggests he’ll be bringing home his first big award the year he turns 21.
