On Monday, ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today hailed actress Kerry Washington for her speech to the left-wing gay rights group GLAAD. On GMA, fill-in news reader Paula Faris proclaimed: "Calling all GLAADiators. Scandal star Kerry Washington trending big all weekend, giving a passionate speech as she accepted the Vanguard Award at the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards held in L.A. on Saturday night, sharing the importance of diversity in media."
A clip played of Washington declaring: "Because having your story told as a woman, as a person of color, as a lesbian or a trans person or any member of any disenfranchised community is sadly often still a radical idea. There is so much power in story-telling and there is enormous power in inclusive story-telling."
