Dustin Lance Black accepting his Point Leadership Award via video message from London. Joined by Tom

Dustin Lance Black received the Point Leadership Award (Point Honors NY 2017, April 3, 2017), which honors an individual who has achieved prominence in his or her professional career and unequivocally supports the LGBTQ community.
But Black was unable to travel from London to New York for the event due to U.K. visa regulations which would impact his upcoming marriage to Tom Daley, instead sending a video message from London.
In a video message, Black conveyed to the audience at The Plaza his deep commitment to LGBTQ rights and social justice.
“Until we have increased understanding and dispel the myths, the stereotypes, and the fears around being an LGBTQ person in this world, we must have safety nets like Point Foundation to take care of our young people.”
