On Saturday he was on hand to accept the Corporate Vanguard Award, presented by Two And A Half Men's Holland Taylor, on behalf of Marvel Entertainment at the  45th Anniversary Gala Vanguard Awards held at The Los Angeles LGBT Center.

Lane told Buzzfeed,

It's professionally and personally pretty awesome. For Marvel this is tremendous recognition that we worked very hard in half a decade to tell stories about real people who are relatable; I know they have fantastical costumes and powers, but they have real struggles, they feel different, and they have a great nascent side that comes out. As a gay man growing up and reading these stories, it was tremendously inspirational and encouraging to me, and I hope we've done that for kids and young people and adults, for new generations.
