GLAAD announced its nominees for the 33rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Wednesday. The Advocate was nominated for Outstanding Magazine Overall Coverage, and an article from its sister publication Out received a nomination for "The Hearts of Venezuela" by Taylor Hirschberg.

The Advocate won in the category in 2020.

The GLAAD Media Awards, established in 1990, "honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues." In addition to print and digital media, GLAAD honors film and television productions that excel at this purpose.

This years' nominees were published, released, or broadcast between January 1 and December 31, 2021, according to a press release.

"Media can create positive change and this year's nominees represent powerful projects, stories, and creators that positively shifted culture and enlightened audiences with new and impactful LGBTQ stories," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. "There are more nominees this year than ever before, highlighting a growing landscape of LGBTQ visbility, and serving as a reminder to the critical role that film, television, music, journalism, and other forms of media can play in growing LGBTQ acceptance in the face of ongoing attacks against our community."

Of the nominees, 63 came from streaming services, 39 from cable, and 17 from broadcast networks, highlighting the impressive queer stories that have found a home in streaming.

HBO/HBO Max had the most nominations with 19, followed by Netflix with 17. Hulu had seven nominations. ABC, MSNBC, and Peacock had four nominations each. Univision and Telemundo each had two nominations in the Spanish-language categories.

GLAAD wrote in its release that in a year that when anti-trans violence is at an all-time high and lawmakers across the country attack trans rights, many of the nominees focus on trans stories.

Overall, there are 246 nominees across 30 categories. This year sees two additional categories: Outstanding New TV Series and Outstanding Original Graphic Novel/Anthology.

"After decades of LGBTQ characters being excluded, sidelined, or misrepresented on television, it is incredibly powerful to see how many series introduced fresh, impactful, and fully developed LGBTQ characters and storylines in their first season, many of which were some of the most beloved shows of the year," Ellis said. "The introduction of the Outstanding New TV Series category recognizes the shows and creators getting LGBTQ inclusion right from the beginning, and encourages other showrunners to include LGBTQ characters and stories that enlighten and entertain in new projects."

GLAAD also announced that its Barbara Gittings Award for Excellence in LGBTQ Media, which honors a pioneering individual, group, or community media outlet that has made a significant contribution to the development of LGBTQ+ media will go to lesbian journalist and founding publisher of Curve Magazine, Franco Stevens.

The GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies will be held in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton April 2, and in New York at the Hilton Midtown May 6.
