In addition to celebrating the award recipients for the 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards, the ceremony spotlighted pressing issues affecting the LGBTQ community, including anti-trans youth legislation, the importance of centering stories of people living with HIV, passage of the Equality Act, and registration of LGBTQ voters in the upcoming midterm elections.
The 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Since its inception in 1990, the GLAAD Media Awards have grown to be the most visible annual LGBTQ awards show in the world, sending powerful messages of acceptance to audiences globally. The 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards are presented by Gilead Sciences, Inc., Google Pixel, Hyundai, and Ketel One Family Made Vodka. Delta Air Lines is a Major Sponsor of the events, Nike and Sony Music Group are Official Sponsors, and Comcast NBCUniversal Telemundo, Meta, and Netflix are Titanium Sponsors.
“This year’s GLAAD Media Awards come at a time where LGBTQ visibility and storytelling can be the frontline response to a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ legislation around the country,” said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Our nominees and award recipients, including Pose, Sesame Street, Eternals, Hacks, Lil Nas X, We’re Here and so many journalists and news producers showcase the beautiful diversity of LGBTQ people. At a time when we need it most, these stories, these stories rise against hate, enlighten, entertain, and send an undeniable message: we are not going anywhere.”
The nominees for the 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards were published, released, or broadcast between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. For a full list of nominees, click here.
