Broadway veterans Patrick Heusinger and Bobby Steggert were honored at the Jim Owles Gay Pride Awards Ceremony, held at ELMO (156 7th Avenue) on Sunday, May 16. Queer as Folk‘s Hal Sparks hosted the event, which featured opening remarks by John Cameron Mitchell.

Heusinger is currently appearing on Broadway in Next Fall. Steggert is a 2010 Tony nominee for his work in Ragtime, and a 2010 Drama Desk nominee for both Ragtime and the musical Yank! Mitchell plans to return to Broadway in late 2010, starring in his rock musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
