quicklist: 2title: Jennifer Lopez Wins GLAAD Awardtext: Jennifer Lopez got personal this weekend when she accepted GLAAD's Vanguard award for her work as executive producer on the ABC Family show "The Fosters."

One of the reasons Lopez said she chose to produce the show, which follows a lesbian couple’s raising a family, was because of her Aunt Marisa.

"Marisa [was] gay in a time [when] life could be very difficult, and that her struggles were mostly kept to herself," Lopez said, according to US Weekly. "It wasn’t until I got older that I really got to know and appreciate the difficulties that she dealt with and the struggles of her community."
