TOPICS: GLAAD Media Awards. Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Gay and lesbian representations in advertising and media. Bravo TV cable network. GLAAD Media Awards to be televised on Bravo TV.GLAAD is an acronym standing for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation - a US based gay rights media watchdog and lobbying organization.
It describes itself as "dedicated to promoting and ensuring fair, accurate and inclusive representation of people and events in the media as a means of eliminating homophobia and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation."
Each year since 1990 the organization has presented an annual media awards honouring outstanding work in the fair and representative portrayal of lesbian and gay people in US media.
Regular readers of Gay Market News would recall that last year GLAAD found itself the subject of strong criticisms from an unlikely source - the gay and lesbian media itself.
Now today comes news that GLAAD is to telecast its annual Media Awards on a national TV channel in the US media market, and that channel is not last year's TV partner Logo gay TV, Viacom's gay and lesbian TV network.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation - GLAAD today announced an exclusive agreement with Bravo, its new broadcast partner, which will telecast the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards later this year, which will be the first time since the awards began in 1990 that they are broadcast on a nationally available TV network.
That network? It's Bravo TV.
"Bravo has an already proud record of featuring groundbreaking gay and lesbian programming, and the broadcast of the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Bravo will be historic not just for GLAAD, but for the entire lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement for equality," GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano said today.
The 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, are sponsored by Absolut Vodka and IBM, and are being held in New York tonight at the Marriott Marquis. There are also GLAAD Media Awards events held in South Florida at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday, April 12; in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 26 at the Kodak Theatre; and in San Francisco on Saturday, May 10 at the San Francisco Marriott.
The broadcast of the combined GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies will be on Bravo TV at a date later this year.
