L Word To Receive GLAAD Honors
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Just as The L Word has taken it’s final bow, it will be nominated by GLAAD with a Special Recognition Award.
The Los Angeles ceremony, which is set to take place on April 18, 2009 in the Nokia Theater in LA, will honor many people, including Kathy Griffin and Bishop Gene Robinson.
The Special Recognition Award will be given to The L Word because the show “broke new ground for LGBT visibility on television with its focus of exploring the lives and loves of a group of lesbian and bisexual women in Los Angeles”.
With a cast full of out lesbian and bisexual women, the show is now aired in 39 countries, bringing worldwide recognition to the GLBT community. Ilene Chakin, along with cast members Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Kate Moennig, and Pam Greer will accept the award that evening.
