Josh Hutcherson: GLAAD Media Awards 2012!

Josh Hutcherson steps on stage at the 2012 GLAAD Media Awards held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel on Saturday night (April 21) in Los Angeles.

The 19-year-old actor (in Z Zegna) is the youngest ever recipient of the Vanguard Award.

“My mom has always been a big advocate, especially in the gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual community so for me it’s always been a part of my soul,” Josh told EOnline.

He added, “This is what my family is most proud of and the same for me. Acting is one thing, but actually trying to change the world and the way people think to make people’s lives better? That’s the stuff I’m most proud of.”

Congrats, Josh!
