\u201cFor 35 years, the GLAAD Media Awards has provided the global stage for LGBTQ creators, alongside industry talent and leaders to be celebrated and supported. At a time when the LGBTQ community is under attack by false narratives and misinformation, when less than half of American say they are familiar with transgender and nonbinary people, and when one in five Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, this year\u2019s nominees powerfully reflect the realities of LGBTQ existence today, in our communities and around the globe. Amid a summer of union strikes across Hollywood, the stakes have never been higher to maintain the progress of LGBTQ visibility and representation across all media, from film, television, music, journalism, publishing and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, GLAAD presents non-competitive Special Recognition Awards to media projects that do not fit into one of the existing GLAAD Media Awards categories. For the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, GLAAD is presenting Special Recognition honors to 11 media projects and individuals that spotlighted diverse segments of the LGBTQ community in innovative ways.  The 11 individuals and projects include: The Dads<\/em> (Netflix), Drag Latina <\/em>(Revry \/ LATV), El Sabor de Navidad <\/em>(Vix), Enamor\u00e1ndonos<\/em> (Univision), Love in Gravity<\/em>, Relighting Candles <\/em>(Hulu), Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce<\/em> (AMC Theatres), The Tennessee Holler, Wendy, perdida pero famosa <\/em>(Vix)<\/strong>, <\/em>and Yes I Am: The Ric Weiland Story<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
