SUPPORT from the president

Welcome to the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.

Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the , , bisexual and (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice.

The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward.

When four states brought equality to the election from the president ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way view marriage equality.

Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

GLAAD’s Commentator Accountability Project (CAP) is putting critical information about anti- gay activists into the hands of newsrooms, editors, and hosts around the country. Now, more than ever, journalists are challenging the lies and misinformation spread by anti-gay commentators.

from the president These are just a few examples of the ways that GLAAD is working to bring LGBT people and issues to the forefront. But there’s still a great deal of work to be done, particularly for the much- underserved transgender community. Now we’re redoubling our efforts, calling for equal treatment of trans youth like Coy Mathis, and holding media like The accountable for anti-trans bias. With your help, I know that GLAAD can continue growing our impact to benefit GL BT people everywhere.

Please join me in congratulating tonight’s nominees, award recipients and honorees, and in helping to ensure GLAAD can continue its work to lead the conversation for LGBT equality.

Herndon Graddick President NOMINEE SELECTION PROCESS

The GLAAD Media Awards have been held annually since 1990; they recognize and honor news and entertainment media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect our lives. SELECTION PROCESS

Nominee Selection Nominees are selected by juries comprised of volunteers with interest and expertise in the particular media category they are judging. In 2012, over 70 volunteers served on 5 separate Nomination Juries, selecting 120 nominees in 25 English-language categories, and 33 nominees in 8 Spanish-language categories.

In addition to year-round media monitoring by the juries, GLAAD issues a Call for Entries, encouraging media outlets to submit outstanding work for consideration. GLAAD may nominate a mainstream media project even if it is not submitted as part of the Call for Entries. However, media outlets created by and for an LGBT audience must submit in order to be considered for nomination. GLAAD does not monitor media created by and for the LGBT community for defamation – therefore we do not generate a pool of potential nominees for juries to review. NOMINEE SELECTION

Nominating Juries may select up to five nominees in each category. If no projects are deemed worthy of nomination, the juries may choose to nominate nothing. At the end of the year, the Nominating Juries submit their list of recommended nominees to GLAAD’s staff and Board of Directors for final approval.

All media projects with LGBT images are evaluated using four criteria:

1. Fair, Accurate and Inclusive Representations Rather than portraying the LGBT community in broad stereotypes, the project deals with the characters or themes in a fair, accurate, and multi-dimensional manner. (This is different than a “positive role model.”) Inclusive means that the diversity of the LGBT community is represented. This includes economic, geographic, and political diversity, as well as people of color, seniors, differently abled people, etc.

2. Boldness and Originality The project breaks new ground by exploring LGBT subject matter in non-traditional ways and handles the LGBT content in a fresh and original manner. Is this project cutting-edge? NOMINEE SELECTION 3. Impact The project impacts society in a significant way. Does this project dramatically increase the cultural dialogue about LGBT issues? Or, does this project reach an audience that is not regularly exposed to LGBT images and issues?

4. Overall Quality A project of extremely high quality adds impact and significance to the images and issues portrayed. Fair, accurate and inclusive images can sometimes be weakened when they are part of a poor-quality project.

Selection of Award Recipients Nearly 700 GLAAD Media Awards voters contribute to the selection of award recipients in each category via online balloting. Voters are comprised of three groups: GLAAD staff and board, GLAAD Media Circle members, and GLAAD volunteers & allies (which includes previous Special Honorees, key media industry allies, volunteers from the Nominating Juries, and Event Production teams). NOMINEE SELECTION

The votes of these three groups result in a final slate of award recipients, which is then given to GLAAD’s Review Panel for certification. The Review Panel is comprised of the GLAAD Board co-chairs, senior GLAAD program and communications staff, and media industry experts.

The members of the Review Panel are expected to view all of the nominees in each category. The final slate of award recipients is certified by the Review Panel, based on the results of the online balloting and their own expert opinions.

Award recipients are announced at events held annually in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Vito Russo Award ALLy Award BRETT RATNER about the NOMINEES

Sundance Selects David France’s Oscar-nominated How to Survive a Plague details the history of ACT UP and TAG Treatment Action Group as they fought to have the voices of the HIV/AIDS crisis heard.

Founded in 2002, GLAAD Leadership Councils are core groups of dedicated volunteers with a demonstrated commitment and passion for GLAAD’s mission. As the local voice and face of GLAAD, leadership councils offer locally tailored events, monitor and respond to local media coverage of LGBT people and issues, communicate GLAAD’s impact on local and national issues, and build support for GLAAD’s work. These community leaders enable GLAAD to expand our reach, impact, and support in cities and towns across America.

GLAAD thanks the following Leadership Council members for their dedication, leadership, and support.
