Actress Laura Innes received this year's Artistry Award from the gay rights organization Power Up for her portrayal of a gay character on the hit medical drama "ER."
Innes plays Dr. Kerry Weaver on the NBC show.
"I hope her inclusion in prime time helps break down barriers of prejudice and injustice on-screen and off," Innes said.
