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 lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (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 marriage 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 samesex couples should receive the same federal
protections as straight married couples, and
GLAAD is leading the media narrative and
reshaping the way Americans 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 antigay 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 muchunderserved transgender community. Now we’re
redoubling our efforts, calling for equal treatment
of trans youth like Coy Mathis, and holding
media like The New York Post accountable
for anti-trans bias. With your help, I know that
GLAAD can continue growing our impact to
benefit LGBT 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 Sel ec tion
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, Accur ate a n d I n c lu s iv e
Representat ion s
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. Bol dness a n d O r ig in a lity
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. Ov eral l Q u a lity
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.
Sel ect ion of Awa r d R ec ipien ts
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.

“The First Gay
PresidenT”
by Andrew Sullivan Newsweek
In this cover story, writer Andrew
Sullivan details President Barack
Obama’s evolution on marriage
equality. Sullivan notes that
Obama’s tactics may have seemed
politically calculated for his own
advancement, but his actions
were actually rooted in a deep
understanding and respect for
the LGBT community. While many
people thought President Obama
was moving too slowly on “Don’t
Ask, Don’t Tell” and other LGBT
issues, Sullivan argues that Obama
was actually very skillful in his
approach. By ensuring that Adm.
Michael Mullen and Republican
Defense Secretary Robert Gates
supported the repeal of DADT,
Obama outmaneuvered potential
Republican challengers. Sullivan
argues that Obama will use similar
tactics for DOMA and marriage
equality.

“School of Hate”
by Rachel Aviv The New Yorker
by Sabrina Rubin Erdely
In an article centered on LGBT
homeless youth in New York,
Rachel Aviv shares the experiences
of several young people who have
been abandoned by their families.
One of them is Samantha, who
left her Florida home after years
of sexual abuse by a family friend.
She plotted her escape by waiting
until she was old enough so that
homeless shelters would not send
her back home to her family. Ryan
is a young transgender man and
must turn to sex work in order to
survive. Life on the streets takes
its toll when both Samantha and
Ryan test positive for HIV. While
they acknowledge that HIV is no
longer a death sentence, their lack
of health insurance and a stable
living situation make dealing with
the virus much more difficult.
Rolling Stone
After several teenage LGBT-related
suicides in one school district,
Sabrina Rubin Erdely profiles
students in Anoka, Minnesota
and their struggle for acceptance.
When the Anoka-Hennepin school
district shirks responsibility for
protecting their students, kids
begin to feel desperate and lonely,
thinking the only option is to take
their own lives. Teens are routinely
bullied for being LGBT or perceived
as LGBT, and administrators are
fearful of even saying the word
“gay.” The cultivation of this antigay climate results in violence,
fear, and ultimately tragedy in this
small community.

written by Michael Perlman in
collaboration with Fault Line
Theatre
During an Oscar acceptance
speech, Dennis calls out Ethan
for bullying that contributed
to the suicide of a classmate
when they were boys. This
public denunciation leads
Ethan to examine his past and
current behavior. He publically
apologizes, but Dennis doesn’t
believe it’s sincere. The play asks
the question of who gets to speak
for a victim of bullying when
they can no longer speak for
themselves. The play’s tag line says
it all: “Just because it gets better
doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”
A Map of Virtue
by Erin Courtney
A quirky drama with deliberate
overtones of Hitchcock and horror
movies, Map of Virtue centers
on a series of chance encounters
between Mark, who is gay, and
Sarah. It is narrated by a statue of
a bird that is a painful reminder
of an abusive past for Mark and
the symbol of artistic liberation for
Sarah. The pair’s uneasy friendship
takes a strange turn when they,
along with Sarah’s husband, are
kidnapped and held captive in a
remote location. The play’s gay
themes are woven into the fabric
of this offbeat tale, with Mark’s
boyfriend playing a pivotal role in
ending this hostage situation.

Leadership councils
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.
