LA's LGBT film fest Outfest kicked off last Thursday with a red carpet premiere of the Alan Ginsberg biopic Howl, starrring James Franco. And plenty of celesbians were on hand to celebrate the best in LGBT filmmaking.

Outfest bestowed its Outfest Achievement Award on the ubiquitous and deserving Jane Lynch. Here are a few photographs of Outfest's big night with Lynch, Dreya Weber, Paris Pickard, Daniella Sea, Sheetal Sheth and more.
