"LOS ANGELES (AP) - Before they strut down the red carpet at the Emmys, Jeffrey Tambor and Laverne Cox were among the honorees at the first-ever Television Industry Advocacy Awards.

Tambor and Cox were recognized Friday at the Creative Coalition event for their efforts in bringing attention to the transgender community.

"The opportunity to play a trans character as a trans actress has changed my life and also changed the lives of so many people who have seen me," said Cox, the "Orange is the New Black" co-star who was the first transgender actress to be nominated for an Emmy last year."
