Anderson Cooper kissed Madonna at GLAAD Awards

While being honored at the New York edition of the GLAAD Media Awards on Sunday, Anderson Cooper manifested his excitement by inadvertently kissing Madonna.

Cooper was the recipient of this year's Vito Russo Award, which goes to a LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Cooper's prize was presented by no other than the material girl wearing a full-on boy scout outfit.

After giving an inspirational speech in which she asked to, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and slammed the Boys Scouts Organization prompting them to "change their stupid rules," Madonna called the CNN anchor to the stage.

The two shared a long congratulatory hug followed by an impromptu peck.

Cooper came out as a homosexual last year in an email to journalist Andrew Sullivan. During his acceptance speech the anchor thanked his boyfriend since 2009, Benjamin Maisani.
