News "Glee" and "Modern Family" Win L.A. GLAAD Awards "Glee" and "Modern Family" tied for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 22nd annual GLAAD Media Awards, which were presented April 10 in Los Angeles at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.

As previously reported, Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked and Promises, Promises) was the recipient of the Vanguard Award for her work to increase the visibility of LGBT individuals in the media. Chenoweth's Promises, Promises co-star Sean Hayes presented the honor.

"I want to encourage many people of all faiths to come forward and stand with me," Chenoweth said in her acceptance speech. "Even if you don't believe in Jesus the way I do, he did teach love -- not just tolerance, but acceptance. I'm lucky I had parents who adopted me at birth, conservative Southern Baptists who said, 'You will love everyone the same'…Mostly I would like to thank GLAAD for this amazing, amazing honor. This is the biggest honor I have ever received."

Dolly Parton was also on hand to present the Stephen F. Kolzak Award to television executive Robert Greenblatt. The honor is presented to "an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community."
