The Trevor Project has announced that they will honor LGBT actor, Neil Patrick Harris, and AT&T at their holiday event in December.

The press release calls Harris, the star of "How I Met Your Mother",  a compelling example for LGBTQ youth through his extraordinary professional and personal success.

For many years, I have been a passionate and enthusiastic supporter of The Trevor Project’s lifesaving work, and I’m deeply honored to be recognized by an organization which has such a vital mission,” said Harris. “Everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, should be able to live their lives proudly as exactly who they are. I’m hopeful that in accepting this award, and in helping to build further awareness of The Trevor Project’s resources, I can in some small way make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning] youth.

As for AT&T, the Trevor Project described their company as "a champion of diversity and a progressive corporate leader committed to equality, as demonstrated by its continuous 100% Index rating by the Human Rights Campaign."

The Trevor Project is a national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among LGBT youth.
