Gavin Creel accepted a Special Recognition Award at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York on March 13 for the cast and producers' support of LGBT equality. The cast and producers actively supported the National Equality March held in Washington D.C. in October of 2009.

In the weeks leading up to the march, they re-staged the finale of the play to actively encourage audience members to attend the march for LGBT equality. Then, on the weekend of the march, the play went dark so the entire cast could attend and perform in Washington, D.C.

The GLAAD Media Awards elevate and promote fair, accurate and inclusive stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues, people and allies that have increased awareness, understanding and respect for the lives of LGBT people. The GLAAD Media Awards also fund GLAAD's work to amplify stories of LGBT people and issues that build support for equality.
