Longstanding community contributors and regional NSW were the big winners at this year's Honour Awards with seven people and organisations from across NSW being recognised for their service to the GLBT community at a gala awards ceremony in Sydney last night.

A diverse and inspirational mix of 22 people and organisations were announced as finalists for the 2010 Honour Awards. Now in their fourth year, the Honour Awards are an annual event which recognise outstanding achievements within or contributions to NSW's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

Two leading figures from NSW’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community were honoured at a special fundraising event in Sydney. Simply called Honour, the event recognised the community-based work of performer Graeme Browning and his legendary alter ego Mitzi Macintosh and political activist Ken Davis.
