ALL 36TH GLAAD MEDIA AWARDS WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES WITH HONOREE CYNTHIA ERIVO AND HOST MICHAEL URIE, AWARDS TO STREAM ON HULU STARTING APRIL 12
Los Angeles, CA – Thursday, March 27, 2025 – GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, announced the first award of the 36th GLAAD Media Awards was awarded to Grammy-winning rapper and songstress, Doechii, for Outstanding Music Artist and was presented by Lil Nas X and Maren Morris.
In her acceptance speech, Doechii said in part: “I am thrilled at being recognized with such a prestigious award by GLAAD – and to be joining prior honorees such as Renee Rapp, Lady Gaga, Lil Nas X, Sam Smith and Janelle Monae. This is such a huge and special moment as well because GLAAD is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. This organization was founded on the principles of acceptance, inclusiveness and empowerment. Those are the same tenets I strongly believe in, advocate for and that continue to propel me forward – especially now as hard-won cultural change and rights for transgender people and the LGBTQ+ community are being threatened. But we are here and we are not going anywhere. The support and love I’m feeling as I accept this award from GLAAD is overwhelming, uplifting and – as I move forward in my life and career – enabling. It’s also a beacon to other aspiring artists to not let anyone ever block your dreams. Stay connected with each other. Stay passionate. Stay unapologetic.”
