Watch Paris Lees present Maureen Duffy with Icon Award
By Sam Rigby
Maureen Duffy received an Icon Award at the Attitude Awards in London last week.
Attitude‘s Editor-at-Large Paris Lees took to the stage to honour the 81-year-old playwright, who came out in the 1950s and has spent her life campaigning for gay rights.
Accepting the award, Duffy took the opportunity to tell the audience to fight against inequality in other parts of the world, saying: “Don’t hang up your boots, don’t take your eye off the ball, and thank you so much. I love you.”
For the third consecutive year Virgin Holidays were headline sponsors of the Attitude Awards, which also benefited the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Attitude would also like to thank other sponsors and supporters of the event including Sky, Renault, Marriott, M&S, Little Miracles, Naked Wines and Hip Hotels.
