Revry Receives Special Recognition for Drag Latina For 35th GLAAD Media Awards
Revry, the LGBTQ+ streaming network, is proud to announce its receipt of a Special Recognition award along with Latino Alternative Television for "Drag Latina'' as part of the 35th GLAAD Media Awards. Each year, GLAAD presents Special Recognition Awards to media projects that defy categorization within the existing GLAAD Media Awards framework. For the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, Revry is honored with this distinction, highlighting its commitment to representing diverse segments of the LGBTQ+ community in innovative and groundbreaking ways.
This marks Revry's first GLAAD Award, and the recognition places it in esteemed company alongside other streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu, all of which were also honored during the ceremony.
"We are honored to receive this recognition from GLAAD for such a significant series that holds a special place in our hearts," expressed Revry Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, Christopher J. Rodriguez. "'Drag Latina' has resonated profoundly with the queer Latine community, surpassing all expectations. This special award in the GLAAD Media Awards only reinforces its impact on the broader LGBTQ+ entertainment landscape."
Amid a year when lawmakers in the U.S. introduced a record-breaking number of bills targeting transgender youth and access to transgender healthcare, the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards nominees, including Revry, stood out for centering transgender people and issues in timely, nuanced, and empowering ways.
"Drag Latina" had a profound impact, with its latest season showcasing numerous drag performers from Red States, and notably featuring three transgender queens alongside the host, Carmen Carrera. This distinctive Spanish and English language program serves as a testament to Revry's commitment to representing the Latine community within the United States. The deliberate inclusion of transgender voices and stories in "Drag Latina" aligns with GLAAD's mission to recognize and celebrate the diverse narratives within the LGBTQ+ community.
Receiving a Special Recognition award from GLAAD is a milestone for Revry, acknowledging the network's efforts to push boundaries and provide a platform for underrepresented voices within the LGBTQ+ community. This achievement underscores Revry's commitment to fostering inclusivity and elevating diverse stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.
Revry expresses gratitude to GLAAD for this prestigious recognition and remains steadfast in its mission to continue amplifying unique and authentic LGBTQ+ voices in the realm of digital media.
