Kolzak Award, given to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for the LGBT community. Drew Barrymore will be honored with the Vanguard Award, after portraying the lesbian daughter of a widower (Robert De Niro) in the 2009 film Everybody’s Fine and joining public protests when the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8. Other guests and presenters scheduled to attend include the Glee cast, Tom Ford (A Single Man), Eric Dane ( Grey’s Anatomy ), Jason Lewis (Brothers & Sisters), and Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), plus Chaz Bono , and Benjamin Bratt (La Mission). Also appearing will be Clementine Ford (The L Word) and from the reality TV universe, the incredible Countess LuAnn de Lesseps (Real Housewives of New York City). Sounds like an entertaining, attractive roster.
