Jenner and her people demanded the award and threatened to pull out of the ABC Diane Sawyer interview if he didn't win.

Anonymous sources usually aren't worth much more than awards given out by televisions channels.

And, personally, I don't care much about the award. I would be hard pressed to name anyone on the list. But I do think it's funny people are all upset about Jenner getting the award for his announcement made during a time where it's not the most positive thing, when the award itself is named for a guy who was considered courageous for bringing public attention to HIV at a time when it wasn't the most positive thing.
