"Jennifer Lopez and Tegan and Sara were honored at the 25th GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday (April 12). The first of two ceremonies paying tribute to advocates for the LGBT community was held last night at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, with Ross Mathews overseeing the festivities.  Lopez was the top honoree of the night, receiving the Vanguard Award for her support of equal marriage. She was also commended for bringing important issues impacting the LGBT community to light in The Fosters, the television drama programme that she produces. The Fosters - which is about an interracial lesbian couple - was the recipient of the Outstanding Drama Series prize. Tegan and Sara won in the Outstanding Music Artist category over Elton John, Goldfrapp, Lady Gaga and Vampire Weekend.
