“GLAAD’s dedication to accelerating the acceptance, representation, and recognition of all LGBTQ stories is reflected in the sheer diversity of this year’s nominees. The nominations include media that represents not only a wide range of LGBTQ identities, but which also features numerous LGBTQ people of color from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds.
From outstanding films, to television, to children’s and family programming, nearly every nomination category for the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards honors LGBTQ people of color. The list celebrates media that is enacting first of its kind, truly diverse representation. And, in addition to characters who are LGBTQ people of color, many of this year’s nominations star and are directed and written by LGBTQ people of color.” – GLAAD
