Queer women and LGBTQ people of color are featured prominently in this year’s GLAAD Media Awards nominees.
This year’s "gay Oscars" include 295 nominees across 33 categories, including two new ones: outstanding podcast and outstanding live TV journalism.ByFrom a gay Latino police officer in Texas to a narcissistic lesbian music conductor in Berlin and a Black drag queen traveling through small-town America, last year’s queer-inclusive media content covered nearly every corner of the vast LGBTQ spectrum, and the nominees for the 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards reflect that diversity.
Queer women and LGBTQ people of color also feature prominently among this year’s nominees. Of the 10 wide-release film nominees, for example, six featured prominent lesbian, bisexual or other queer women characters, including “Tár,” “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and “Scream,” the group noted in its release. And of the 10 podcast nominees, eight prominently feature LGBTQ people of color as hosts or guests, including “LGBTQ&A” and “Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.
“This year we have more nominees than ever before to represent immensely impactful projects that entertain, educate, and grow acceptance of LGBTQ people,” she said. “From new stories that debunk lies about transgender youth to kids and family programming which allows all families to be represented, this year’s nominated media images are beloved by audiences and are creating real change.”
