GLAAD will honor Madonna with the Advocate for Change Award at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City on May 4. “Through her entire career @Madonna has used her global platform to stand for LGBTQ equality and acceptance,” GLAAD said on Twitter. “Madonna always has and always will be the LGBTQ community’s greatest ally and it is only fitting to honor and celebrate our biggest advocate at GLAAD’s biggest event ever,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “From the HIV crisis to international LGBTQ issues, she fearlessly pushes for a world where LGBTQ people are accepted.” Ellis added. “Her music and art have been life-saving outlets for LGBTQ people over the years and her affirming words and actions have changed countless hearts and minds. The GLAAD Advocate for Change Award has only been given out once before – to former President Bill Clinton in 2013 for his advocacy work to overturn the anti-LGBTQ Defense of Marriage Act and advance marriage equality nationwide.
