GLAAD celebrates inaugural Latine Honors in Los Angeles

Harvey Guillén and Vico Ortiz presented GLAAD Media Award Special Recognitions to The Q Agenda, the all LGBTQ hosted show on LatiNation, and to Amanda, who hosts a television news program in Mexico in drag called LaVerdrag.

Stand With Us for LGBTQ Equality in 2025
The danger is mounting with hundreds of anti-LGBTQ legislative bills, a tactic that fuels increased — and sometimes fatal — violence towards LGBTQ people, including bullying, targeting of Pride events, bomb and mass shooting threats, and more. But GLAAD’s 40 years of experience and media advocacy expertise means we’re prepared to face it all. Make a donation to GLAAD to amplify our ability to help us fight misinformation and hate, respond to rapid news, and change our culture toward progress. With your support, GLAAD can look forward to another 40 years of accelerating LGBTQ acceptance.

Your support uplifts Transgender Day of Visibility
Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) celebrates the lives and contributions of transgender people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender people. GLAAD made the most of TDOV, calling allies to action and shining a light on important trans voices, sharing critical resource guides ([link removed]) to journalists covering TDOV, hosting cross-organizational in-person town halls ([link removed]), and moderating collegiate panels ([link removed]). Thanks to supporters like you, GLAAD was also able to have trans stories featured in Cosmopolitan ([link removed]), 19th ([link removed]), NY1 ([link removed]), CBS2 ([link removed]), and Teen Vogue ([link removed]), while publishing an original piece featuring six interviews with trans people who transitioned between the 1960s and early 00s. Their messages of resilience and hope for the trans community in these difficult times are available to read now ([link removed]).
