NEW YORK — Russell Simmons, Ricky Martin and the HBO drama series “True Blood” are among this year’s recipients of media awards from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Other winners of the 22nd annual GLAAD Media Awards, presented Saturday in New York, included the NBC comedy “30 Rock,” whose star Tina Fey is pictured at right, and CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” for its series on gay teen suicides.
