Jennifer will receive the 2013 Ally for Equality Award at HRC’s sold-out National Dinner on Saturday, October 5 in Washington, DC.
“Jennifer Lopez embodies the spirit of an ally to the LGBT community and we are thrilled to present her the Ally for Equality at our National Dinner in October,” said HRC president Chad Griffin. “We recognize Jennifer for her talent, style, compassion, philanthropy and generosity, but foremost for her public commitment to LGBT equality.”
The Ally for Equality Award recognizes the outstanding efforts of those who dedicate time, energy, spirit and whole-hearted commitment to better the lives of LGBT people. This award is given to allies outside the LGBT community who stand up on behalf of equality for all Americans.
Jennifer’s latest LGBT related project is ABC Family’s TV series ‘The Fosters’ where she serves as an executive producer. The show is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. ABC picked it up for a second season.
