The Alibi was very proud indeed to join Albuquerque Pride in co-presenting the first-ever OUTstanding Awards, designed to honor the best in gay and gay-allied Albuquerque. We invited the community to nominate and vote for OUTstanding recipients in January and February. The winners were announced in a glittery, sealed-envelope ceremony on Saturday, March 6, at the Radisson Hotel ballroom. In addition to bringing much-deserved recognition to Albuquerque’s LGBT population and supporters, the night was a blast!The paper extends its thanks and congratulations to Albuquerque Pride, those who voted, the ceremony attendees, the nominees and, of course, the inaugural OUTstanding Award recipients. We hope to see you at next year’s awards!OUTstanding Bar or NightclubAlbuquerque Social ClubOUTstanding BartenderRyan Wilkinson, Albuquerque Social ClubOUTstanding RestaurantScalo Northern Italian GrillOUTstanding BakeryFlying Star CaféOUTstanding Drag QueenAleah RicoOUTstanding Drag KingRocco SteeleOUTstanding Dance TroupeThrobOUTstanding GLBT OrganizationUNM Queer Straight AllianceOUTstanding GLBT LeaderJordon Johnson, Equality New Mexico (EQNM)OUTstanding Straight AllyJim and Jean Genasci, PFLAG AlbuquerqueOUTstanding Hair SalonSwankOUTstanding StylistRyan Perrigo, SwankOUTstanding Massage TherapistGabe TorresOUTstanding Real Estate AgentTalia FreedmanOUTstanding Performance Artist or GroupMadison EriksOUTstanding DJDJ StitchOUTstanding Store to ShopBuffalo ExchangeOUTstanding Place to Meet SomeoneAlbuquerque Social ClubOUTstanding Adult StoreSelf Serve Sexuality Resource Center OUTstanding GymNew Mexico Sports and WellnessOUTstanding Local VocalistAdan BranchalOUTstanding ArtistRuben GallegosOUTstanding Place to WorshipMetropolitan Community Church of Albuquerque
