Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are set to be honoured for their work with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.

The famous couple, who tied the knot in Italy in October 2012 and became parents to son Silas Randall in April, will receive the prestigious Inspiration Award at GLSEN's (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Eduction Network) annual Respect Awards.

Timberlake, 34, and Biel, 33, were singled out for serving as 'exemplary role models' and making a 'significant impact on the lives of LGBT youth'.

The award ceremony will be held at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles on October 23.

'We are thrilled to announce the honourees for the 2015 GLSEN Respect Awards -- Los Angeles, two vocal and committed allies to the LGBT community who are also devoted to charitable works that improve the lives of youth,' said GLSEN Executive Director, Dr. Eliza Byard in a statement.

'Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have consistently been visible and committed allies.'

Previous honourees include Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt, Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and wife Marilyn, Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons and his partner Todd Spiewak.

The ceremony will mark the 'Mirrors' hitmaker, 34, and the 'Total Recall' actress' first red carpet appearance together since welcoming son Silas into the world in April.
