1st GLAAD Media Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1st GLAAD Media Awards[1] was held on April 29, 1990 at the Time & Life Building, New York City[2] to honor “fair, accurate and inclusive” representations of LG BT individuals in the media during the 1989 season.[3] Before March 2013, the name 'GLAAD' had been an acronym for 'Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation', but became the primary name due to its inclusiveness of bisexual and transgender issues.[4]This first year was small and low-key, with not many categories.[5] The award this year looks different than it does now - it was a small, square-shaped crystal sculpture that had an etching of the year it was presented, along with the title of the award "GLAAD Media Award".[5] The awards have similar criteria that other awards have as to who gets what awards, but the caveat is that there is some element of the LGBTQ+ community in the show and movie.[5]

GLAAD honored Phil Donahue as the Media Person of the Year Award for his continued coverage of the LGBT community,[6] and GLAAD co-founder Vito Russo joined him onstage.[7] Other honorees included As the World Turns (Daytime Drama), L.A. Law (Drama Series) and Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (TV Documentary).[2]
