Charlize Theron was among those recognized for increasing "visibility and understanding" at the 17th annual GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards in Hollywood on Saturday. The movie
Transamerica, starring Felicity Huffman, also garnered top honors.
Last year, Theron – who won a 2004 Oscar for her role as real-life lesbian serial killer Aileen Wuornos in
Monster – told TV's
Extra that she and longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend would not wed until gay marriage is legal in the U.S.
"This is very surreal for me because two years ago, I stood right here and won my Oscar for
Monster," Theron told the audience at the Kodak Theatre as she accepted GLAAD's highest honor, the Vanguard Award. (people.aol.com)
