Teletubby 145,030 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Kacey Musgraves will be honored at this year's GLAAD Media Award with the special Vanguard Award. The Vanguard Award is presented each year to "allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people," according to GLAAD, and past recipients include Beyoncé and JAY-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Cher. The organization will present Kacey Musgraves with the prize at the 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on April 2, which will be hosted by We're Here hosts and producers Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O'Hara and D.J. "Shangela" Pierce. "From speaking out against anti-LGBTQ legislation in her home state of Texas, to raising awareness about bullying affecting LGBTQ youth, to uplifting the work of LGBTQ artists, Kacey continues to raise the bar for what it means to be an authentic ally and to inspire her fans to do the same," GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Vision 3,068 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Congrats to her! I do find it weird that Gaga hasn't been given this award ever though. It's hard to think of another public figure who has done more activism for the LGBTQ community. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieGOAT 5,198 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hmmmm love her to death and she SO deserves it … but this kind of feels like it might be a “pay-to-play” kind of award these days meaning that there are other artists that i think they could/should have picked first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gibson 3,471 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I'll always wonder why gaga of all people didnt win this specific award considering her impact on LGBTQ acceptability in the 2010s (and making it a major topic in pop music that most of her peers followed soon after).
