Glitter Gala 2026: CosmoloGala
A night of queer myth, starlight, and constellations of care — launching LYG’s 2027 Annual Campaign for LGBTQIA+ youth.
About the Event
Glitter Gala 2026 becomes CosmoloGala: a celestial celebration of queer youth, chosen family, community care, and the kind of light that cannot be touched by the darkness of the world.
This year’s Gala launches The 2027 Constellation of Care, LYG’s Annual Campaign to sustain free programs, resources, leadership opportunities, and affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
What to Expect
A Celestial Night of Queer Joy
- Celestial glam, queer myth, cosmic cocktail, glitter formal, or come as the star you are
- Drag, performance, music, photo moments, raffle, auction, and community celebration
- A donor constellation wall where guests can name stars, honor loved ones, and make gifts
- Youth-centered storytelling through anonymous reflections, art, affirmations, and mission moments
Mission in Motion
Every ticket, sponsorship, raffle entry, auction bid, honorary gift, and monthly donation helps LYG provide free affirming programs and resources for LGBTQIA+ youth.
This is more than a gala. It is the launchpad for LYG’s next year of youth programs, family support, leadership development, resource access, and community care.
