Singer/Songwriters Get GLAAD Noms

Singer/songwriters lead the nominations in the Outstanding Music Artist category of the 15th Annual GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards. Rufus Wainwright, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Bitch & Animal will compete against rocker Peaches and techno-dance band Junior Senior. Wainwright, nominated for the album Want One, is the son of Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle. The GLAAD Media Awards recognize and honor the media for their presentation of fair, accurate and inclusive representatives of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
