Beyoncé has spoken out against laws that would discriminate against LGBTQ people and celebrated the passage of marriage equality nationwide, saying that “everyone has the right to love who they love.” She has spoken out loudly for LGBTQ youth and told her followers on social media that “LGBTQ students need to know we support them.” She’s also included LGBTQ people and couples in videos for “Formation” and “All Night” and dedicated her performance of “Halo” to the victims and survivors of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting during “The Formation World Tour.” Ivy Park, her athleisure clothing line, proudly showcased transgender actress Laverne Cox as one of the featured faces in one of the brand’s promos.
Also honored at the ceremony Thursday was Sean Hayes, who received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which is presented to an LGBTQ media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting LGBTQ acceptance.
GLAAD — the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization — also announced the winners at their 2019 Media Awards, which honors media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues.
