Madonna, Andy Cohen, Don Lemon Honored at GLAAD Media Awards New York

Following the Los Angeles ceremony in March, the 30th GLAAD Media Awards went to New York to continue honoring the celebrities, films, shows and media organizations that have made strides in supporting the LGBTQ+ community this past year.

Drag superstar Shangela hosted the event, which presented Madonna with the Advocate for Change award and Andy Cohen with the Vito Russo award. Recently, the pop star performed the single “Medellín” from her upcoming 14th album “Madame X” with Maluma and five hologram-like avatars of herself at the Billboard Music Awards. Cohen became the first openly gay late-night talk show host when his show “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” launched on Bravo in 2009. Janelle Monáe also won outstanding musical artist following the release of her Grammy-nominated album “Dirty Computer.”
