Variety has a brief article discussing this week’s Los Angeles Outfest 2010.  Jane Lynch will receive the festival’s Annual Achievement Award and will have her very own “In Conversation” panel with Variety‘s Peter Debruge on Saturday afternoon (tickets are on Goldstar or from Outfest itself!  We’ll be there too!!).  An excerpt:

The 49-year-old star has been out for 30 years, and looking back Lynch points to a few advances in LGBT portrayals, especially in television with “All in the Family” and “The L Word.”

“There are 10% of us in the world,” Lynch points out. “And we’re weaving ourselves into this society we call American mainstream. It’s slow happening, but you just have to keep plugging away.”

The actress gives high marks to director Lisa Cholodenko’s gay kitchen-sink comedy “The Kids Are All Right” in which Annette Bening and Julianne Moore play a couple coping with family problems. “But it’s an almighty battlefield out there,” Lynch believes. “And the big bucks go towards what they think the male demographic wants. If somebody from another planet stopped by Sunset Boulevard and looked at all the billboards, they’d think that only men lived on this planet.”

On getting married to Dr. Lara Embry in Massachusettes:  “I would have rather gotten married in my own state, California,” says the actress. “But that’s OK. We’ll go where they’ll take us.”  That’s right, we’ll go where they take us, then we’ll storm the doors of the places that don’t.
