Patrik-Ian Polk's "Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom" and Jonah Markowitz's "Shelter" -- tied for the award for limited-release film at the 20th annual GLAAD Media Awards, held Saturday at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Parvez Sharma's "A Jihad for Love" was named outstanding documentary.

Armageddon was clearly upon us fags, because The Gayken presented Tyra Banks with the Excellence in Media Award, and T.R. Knight presented Suze Orman with the Vito Russo Award. Way back when Clay was closeted, his rep said he would never appear or talk to the gay media. Guess times have changed since his coming out party.

In all, 29 awards were handed out. Additional GLAAD honors will be announced April 18at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles and on May 9 at the Hilton San Francisco.
