NeNe thanked those who have supported her — and even those who haven't — for helping her receive the honor. "As a little girl [I] dreamed! As a woman, I made dreams come true!" she wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for the love and the hate because it has simply made me GREAT #WHCD Honored to be the chosen one."

She also showed a lot of love to The Washington Blade during the weekend's festivities for choosing her and Melissa to accompany the publication at the event for their work as "prominent LGBT allies," according to an article announcing their attendance last week.
