Adam Lambert will perform at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards next month, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced on Monday.
The annual GLAAD Media Awards recognizes celebrities who offer accurate representation of the gay, lesbian and transgender community in the media. A host of stars will be in attendance at the April 17 event, including 2010 honorees Drew Barrymore and Wanda Sykes, the cast of FOX’s Glee, and Constance McMillen, the 18-year-old Mississippi senior, whose prom was canceled after she challenged the school district over its decision banning same sex couples from attending the event.
“GLAAD has advocated for out music artists, including myself, and I am proud to be part of the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards this year,” the American Idol Season 8 runner-up said in a statement. “GLAAD’s work to share stories that grow acceptance and understanding about the gay and transgender community is so important in our culture today.”
