HOLLYWOOD - FormerFriendsstar Jennifer Aniston is to be celebrated for her same-sex kisses.

The actress is slated to receive the Vanguard Award at this year's Los Angeles GLAAD Media Awards on April 14. The awards pay tribute to stars who help promote gay rights.

In recapping her onscreen 'gay' moments, celebrity blogger Marc Malkin lists her girl-on-girl kiss with Winona Ryder in an episode of Friends and her recent lesbian smooch with pal Courteney Cox on TV show Dirt.

Aniston also appeared in lesbian rocker Melissa Etheridge's "I Want To Be in Love" video and was the first guest on gay comedienne Ellen DeGeneres' talk show.
