Britney Spears will have to make room for another award on her mantel.
The pop star, 36, will be honored at this year’s GLAAD Media Awards for her years of support for the LGBTQ community, the organization announced Tuesday morning.
At the awards show, GLAAD will present Spears with its Vanguard Award, “which is presented to media professionals who have made a significant difference in promoting equality and acceptance of LGBTQ people.”
“An irrefutable icon, Britney Spears has entertained the world while also embodying the spirit of GLAAD’s Vanguard Award by speaking out on significant issues that face her fans – from the Dream Act to anti-transgender bills in Texas,” said the organization’s president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis. “She is a force in the music world who has used her global platform to share messages of love and acceptance, something that the world needs today more than ever.”
Past winners of the Vanguard Award include Jennifer Lopez, Kerry Washington and Antonio Banderas.
The 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards will be held at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Thursday, April 12.
