With more than 900 million active users, Facebook is clearly a leading contender in the legion of social networking sites. On Saturday, Facebook proved dominance in another battle, the fight for just representation of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in the media.
Facebook won the Special Recognition Award at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 23rd annual Media Awards. Other honorees at the ceremony in San Francisco included “Grey’s Anatomy” for drama series, “Days of Our Lives” for daily drama series and Max J. Rosenthal of The Huffington Post for digital journalism article. They all demonstrated fair, accurate, and inclusive representation of the LGBT community and the issues that affect their lives in the media.
