The 31st Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which celebrate achievements in media for their representation of the LGBTQ community, took place virtually Thursday.
Hosted by Fortune Feimster and Gina Yashere, the star-studded night included performances by Chole x Halle, Shea Diamond, Ben Plat and more.
The event also celebrated programs for LGBTQ inclusion and representation.
“During this era of political and cultural division, LGBTQ images in media are crucial in accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ community and countering the dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement.
“This year’s award recipients, including ‘Pose’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ continue to bring necessary mainstream visibility to diverse voices within the LGBTQ community, ultimately raising the bar for LGBTQ inclusion and representation in media.”
