Since publicly coming out in 2019, singer/actor Ben Platt has made his advocacy for the LGBTQ community known on a regular basis. Now, America's leading LGBTQ education organization is honoring the star for his efforts.
On Friday (May 22), GLSEN awarded Platt with their Inspiration Award as a part of their "Respect Everywhere" video fundraising initiative. Presented by his The Politician co-star Judith Light and GLSEN's national student council, Platt accepted the award via video from his backyard in Los Angeles.
