TV series A League Of Their Own, What We Do In The Shadows and the film Bros were among the recipients of the 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles last night.
Hosted by comedian and actress Margaret Cho, the ceremony saw awards handed out in 15 of a total 33 categories, with remaining winners for select categories to announced at GLAAD’s New York Ceremony on Saturday, May 13. Hulu, the awards’ official streaming partner, will streams the Los Angeles event on Wednesday, April 12.
Special award winners last night included Christina Aguilera, who received the Advocate for Change Award, introduced by Club Q shooting survivor, Michael Anderson; Bad Bunny, who accepted the Vanguard Award, presented by Ricky Martin; and Jeremy Pope, recipient of the Stephen F. Kolzak Award presented by Gabrielle Union.
Accepting his award, Pope said, “As we continue to build and fight in the community we know that we are targeted. Our trans brothers and sisters, our rights are at stake. And at times I find my heart wrestling with how to keep the faith. It’s rooms like this that remind me of the power of this community. How we will rise time and time again for each other. Freedom. Liberation. Intentional love and support that runs longer than the Underground Railroad my ancestors ran upon. I refuse to use my time on this earth scared or living in shame. And I ask you to do the same.”
Aguilera said, in part, “I have a big problem with injustice, particularly towards the trans community that has faced so much hardship. So I always hoped I could use my music to speak up for others who didn’t have a voice. That’s why I am so grateful to GLAAD for this award, and for the work you do to get the LGBTQ community heard.”
