Stage and screen actress Kim Cattrall, best known for playing Samantha Jones on HBO's "Sex in the City," will receive the Golden Gate Award. Sara Ramirez and Mario Lopez are among other guests scheduled to attend the event.

Previous recipients include Megan Mullally, Jennifer Beals, Stockard Channing, Cybill Shepherd, Jennifer Tilly, James Schamus, and Brooke Shields.

“Kim Cattrall has not only grown acceptance of our community through storylines on shows like 'Sex and the City,' but used her platform to speak out for equality,” said GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios in a statement. “We are proud to honor such a talented and passionate advocate.”
