For the 32nd GLAAD Media Awards, GLAAD will be reinstating the Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media, which honors a pioneering individual, group or community media outlet that has made a significant contribution to the development of LGBTQ media. The first recipient was Barbara Gittings in recognition of her groundbreaking work as editor of The Ladder, and for her appearances as an out lesbian on national news media throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Recipient(s) of this Award, along with the nominees for the 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards, will be announced in early 2021.
