One Good LoveLos Angeles, CA (PRWEB) — DIVA (Diverse and Inclusive Visionary Artists) in collaboration with oneGoodLove.com will host an Industry networking mixer targeting gay and lesbian professionals. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Let California Ring. The event will take place at The Purple Lounge in the Standard Hotel Hollywood on February 13th from 8pm to 11pm.

Dubbed as “Heartthrobs 2: Kiss The Pride”, the event will showcase the work of one of Los Angeles hottest photographers, Adam Bouska. Mr. Bouska will be generously donating a sample of his photography collection to the silent auction. The openly gay fashion photographer is known for capturing male models, most notably, for DNA magazine which featured Armani Exchange underwear model winner Ryan Barry (the boyfriend of Amazing Race co-winner Reichen Lehmkuhl), as well as Eating Out 2’s Marco Dapper and America’s Next Top Models.

“oneGoodLove is very pleased to support terrific organizations like DIVA and Let California Ring. Our goal is to truly “walk the talk” and get involved in the LGBT community through excellent philanthropic events like Heartthrobs 2. From my extensive experience as Sr. Manager of Business Development for Match.com, I learned the LGBT community is too intelligent to support organizations that just merely market to the LGBT community and not actually support it. I only hope our efforts begin to set the standard for other dating services,” says Frank Mastronuzzi, President of oneGoodLove.com

The dress for the event is casual with drink specials for those in attendance. A suggested $10 donation at the door includes a raffle ticket to benefit Let California Ring, a program of Equality California Institute. In addition, all attendees will receive a free trial to oneGoodLove.com

“DIVA is extremely excited to host Heartthrobs 2, the sequel to our Pre-Valentine’s Mixer this year. Even more profound is that we are raising awareness and funds for Let California Ring, an organization that promotes the importance of marriage equality for our LGBT friends in the community. We cannot deny anymore the fact that the simple virtue of Love should be celebrated for everybody and acknowledge that Love is fair and equal in the eyes of the law. We hope that Heartthrobs 2 would generate that awareness and education to the community at large,” says Nelson Melegrito, Executive Director of DIVA.
