Photos: Hillary Clinton’s Big Gay Fundraiser Draws WeHo’s Finest

She hasn’t officially declared yet, but come on. We all know we’re going to be voting for Hillary for president in 2016, when she goes head-to-head against Republican frontrunner Kelsey Grammer.

The political machine is already cranking up into high gear. This week an independent Super PAC threw a fundraiser at The Abbey, the WeHo bar you take your straight cousin to when she’s visiting from Michigan, and supporters were out in force. Let’s take a stroll through some photos.
