The world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, GLAAD, has unveiled the nominees for its 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards.

The organization is celebrating several fan-favorite shows in its TV categories including Hacks, Abbott Elementary, Interview with the Vampire, A League of Their Own, The Sex Lives of College Girls, What We Do in the Shadows and so many more with its nominations. Announced by RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Salina EsTitties and Sasha Colby, they revealed the categories and nominees in a GLAAD Drag Story Time video that debuted on GLAAD’s YouTube page.

Along with sharing the nominations, Sasha addressed the recent attacks drag performers have faced across the country. “Performers like us are being threatened with anti-LGBTQ bills, nasty protests, and even violence. You know what’s scary? People with guns, not queens with books!” In 2022, GLAAD uncovered over 140 incidents of anti-LGBTQ protests and threats targeting drag events among which included events run by the organization known as Drag Story Hour.

GLAAD Media Awards strives to honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Scroll down for a peek at the shows that exemplified these ideals and let us know what you think of the nominations in the comments section. And don’t miss when the winners are revealed during two separate ceremonies. The first will be held on Thursday, March 30 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, and the second is slated for Saturday, May 13 at the Hilton Midtown in New York City.
