The Top Honors at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards will be presented to Jeremy Pope, Bad Bunny, and Christina Aguilera.
. Scheduled to be held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on March 30, the ceremony will celebrate the trio across three separate categories for their impact on, and support of, LGBTQ+ visibility in media.
GLAAD’s Stephen F. Kolzak Award will be presented to Pope for “breaking barriers across multiple industries as an out LGBTQ media professional.” In recent years, the award has gone to MJ Rodriguez, Janet Mock, Troye Sivan, Sean Hayes, Jim Parsons, and more., Pope revealed that he had lost out on a lead role in a major studio film after being told by a director that his standing as a gay man would prevent him from being able to connect with a female character.
Last year, Bad Bunny made headlines when he kissed a male backup dancer during his MTV Video Music Awards performance. Just a few weeks prior, trans rapper Villano Antillano was the target of backlash after kissing another woman, the Dominican rapper Tokischa, during a performance of her own. Bad Bunny had similarly used his platform during public appearances to elevate LGBTQ+ issues in the past.
Christina Aguilera will receive the Advocate for Change Award at the ceremony. The honor, which has only previously been presented to Madonna in 2019 and Manny de Guerra in 2014, celebrates long-documented displays of allyship towards the LGBTQ+ community.
