StarTrekDiscovery star Wilson Cruz will accept the Visionary Award on the behalf of the StarTrek franchise at this year's Outfest Legacy Awards.
Star Trek will receive the Visionary Award from the Outfest Legacy Awards at this year's ceremony, taking place on Saturday, October 22nd at Paramount Studios. The Outfest Legacy Awards is an awards show and fundraiser that celebrates LGBTQIA+"movers and shakers in the film and television industry." The event includes live performances, a red carpet, and special appearances by creators.
"As a self-proclaimed proud 'Trekkie' I have always been enamored with the Star Trek universe, originating with Gene Roddenberry's original canon, that has been created and expanded by so many visionaries, artists and talent, both above and below line," said Outfest's Executive Director, Damien S. Navarro in a statement.
Star Trek: Discovery, the series that brought Star Trek back to television after a 12-year hiatus, has received particular attention for its diverse cast, including Cruz as Dr. Hugh Culber, one half of a gay married couple with Anthony Rapp's Paul Stamets. Nonbinary actor Blu del Barrio plays the nonbinary character Adira Tal in the series, who is in a relationship with transgender character Gray Tal, played by transgender actor Ian Alexander.
