Last night, Glee co-stars Naya Rivera and Cory Monteith took the stage at the GLAAD Media Awards for a kiss off, giving the opportunity to fans to lock lips with their favorite stars while helping fund GLAAD’s work. The two competed to auction off “sweet lady kisses” to the highest bidder. John Stamos bid on Naya but then decided to join them on stage and auction off kisses as well. Cory’s kiss, in a Glee/Smash crossover, went to Megan Hilty who stood in for the bidder. Watch the video below.
Cory, Naya, John Stamos and Megan Hilty were joined by Ted Allen, Laverne Cox, Dakota Fanning, Vinny Guadagnino, Isis King, Carson Kressley, Padma Lakshmi, Jay Manuel, Bernadette Peters, Thomas Roberts, Kim Wayans, and others at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York, which help fund GLAAD’s work to share culture-changing stories that build support for equality.
