Clinton has reportedly been selected for the prize because he promoted LGBT Americans both while President and after he'd left office.
GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz paid said in a statement: "President Clinton's support of the LGBT community and recognition that DOMA, the so-called Defence of Marriage Act, is unconstitutional and should be struck down shows that the political landscape continues to change in favour of LGBT equality."
