At the annual Point Foundation Honors, held April 16th in New York City, the Inspiration Award was given to Focus Features (recognizing its championing respect and inclusion of the LGBT community) and it was announced that NBCUniversal Diversity and Inclusion and OUT@NBCUniversal have created a scholarship with Point Foundation for an LGBT scholar pursuing a career in film, television, or broadcast & digital journalism.

We spoke with Focus CEO James Schamus and President Andrew Karpen as well as actor Denis O’Hare (of Milk) about Focus and the LGBT community; the company’s most recent LGBT-themed movie, Pariah, arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray today.

Take a look at the trailer for Pariah here:
