The National Ally for Equality Award will mean so much to her.
The star was honored for her support of marriage equality, anti-bullying, HIV/AIDS research and for producing ABC Family’s “The Fosters”
Jennifer Lopez was celebrated for her work in advancing the progress of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights by the Human Rights Campaign at its 17th Annual HRC National Dinner on Saturday.
The singer, actress, “American Idol” judge and producer was honored with the 2013 Ally for Equality Award at the Washington D.C. event for her support of marriage equality, HIV/AIDS research, anti-bullying and youth anti-violence causes, and her work as the executive producer of ABC Family’s “The Fosters.”
The one-hour drama follows a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by a lesbian couple played by Teri Polo and Sherri Saum.
Iconic activist Gloria Steinem presented Lopez with the award, which recognizes the “outstanding efforts of those who dedicate time, energy, spirit and whole-hearted commitment to better the lives of LGBT people,” according to HRC. - :
