n">Singer and actress Demi Lovato is to be honored by a leading U.S. gay rights advocacy group for speaking out on behalf of gays, lesbians and transgender people in her songs, music videos and media interviews. The group GLAAD said on Thursday that Lovato, 23, would receive its annual Vanguard Award, which is given to straight people in the public eye who have "made a significant difference in promoting equality and acceptance." She has also campaigned for GLAAD against bullying, and played a lesbian character in 2103 on the TV show "Glee," saying she hoped it would inspire people to love and accept who they are.
