The 34th Annual GLADD Media Awards was, as always, a spirited celebration of the best in LGBTQ+ inclusion and representation in film, television music and more.
Annual GLADD Media Awards was, as always, a spirited celebration of the best in LGBTQ+ inclusion and representation in film, television music and more. But this year it also served as a potent rallying cry, in the face of a spike in discrimination evidenced in several state legislatures’ recent anti-trans laws, curriculum policies and drag show bans.
“It’s so funny that history tends to repeat itself when you take out textbooks to teach that history and when you choose marginalized groups to attack,” said Guillen. “And I just look around this room and I am reminded of how much queer talent is under one roof, and the idea that you would try to omit us from expressing our creativity and being part of the fabric of history. It blows my mind because we’re not going anywhere.
Online influencer Gigi Gorgeous says despite her prominence as a trans women, attending the ceremony always exposes her to new causes and concerns. ”I feel like I know a lot going on until I sit here, and then I learn more,” she said. “With just everything happening right now in the world, it’s really important just to really show up and show face and educate yourself, because we need to educate others.
“This celebration really is about acknowledging our achievements, to enjoy what we’ve been able to accomplish under duress, under all of this homophobia, homophobic legislation, this bizarre onslaught of hatred,” said comedian Margaret Cho, who served as the evening’s emcee. “But this is a night where we get to also get to celebrate Trump’s indictment, which is an incredible thing!”
