Emmys for Lesbian Mom; Gay Dad Portrayal

Congratulations to Jane Lynch, who won a Best Supporting Actress Emmy last night for her role as Sue Sylvester in Fox’s Glee. Here’s an absolutely adorable picture of her, her spouse Lara Embry, and their daughter, from the couple’s New York Times wedding announcement last June. All together now: Awww.

The gay-friendly (but surprisingly gay-dad free) show’s Ryan Murphy picked up the Emmy for directing.

In related news, Eric Stonestreet of ABC’s Modern Family won a Best Supporting Actor Emmy for his portrayal of gay dad Cameron Tucker. The show’s Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd grabbed Best Writing for a Comedy Series, and the show itself won for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Congratulations to all!
