上周六，金像影后查理兹·塞隆获得第17届美国同志组织“反诽谤同性恋者联盟”媒体颁奖“先锋奖”，她在上台领奖时说：“如果因为性取向不同，导致每个人不能拥有同等权利，这是不公平的。” 2003年，塞隆因在影片《女魔头》中成功塑造了艾莲·乌尔诺这一连环杀手的女同性恋者形象而荣获度奥斯卡影后。 2004年，塞隆曾在上电视节目时表示,她和她的男友斯图尔特·汤森德在同性恋婚姻合法化之前将不会结婚。

The 30-year-old, who won an Oscar in 2003 for her portrayal of lesbian serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster , was presented the gong for increasing "visibility and understanding in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community". Last year, Theron promised to postpone her wedding to partner Stuart Townsend until gay and lesbian couples attained the legal right to marry in America. Theron says: "I feel so fortunate that I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. I find it incredibly unfair that because of our sexual preference, we have the rights that we have, and that, because of someone else's sexual preference, they don't have those same rights." Other winners on the night included Felicity Huffman's transgender movie Transamerica for outstanding film in limited release, lesbian TV drama The L Word for outstanding drama series and NBC's hit comedy Will & Grace" for best comedy series.
