TransGriot Gets 5th Nomination For GLAAD Media Award!


Woke up to the wonderful news that TransGriot has been nominated once again for a GLAAD Media Award in the Outstanding Blog category.

It it is my fifth overall  nomination, and the fourth consecutive nomination since 2017.  As you long time readers know, I won the Outstanding Blog award in 2018.

Once again the Outstanding Blog category is packed, with the other nominees being 2019 winner Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents, 2011 winner JoeMyGod, Gays With Kids and My Fabulous Disease.

Ever since this category started in 2011, there has never been a repeat winner of it.  Will this be the year that happens for me or the other two previous award winners, or will Gays with Kids or My Fabulous Disease finally get their first wins?

There are also folks who got nominated for GLAAD media Awards in which I had a participatory role in. 

Lauren McGaughy of the Dallas Morning News received a nomination in the Outstanding Newspaper Article category for her article  "Texas Leads the Nation in Transgender Murders. After the Latest Attack, the Dallas Trans Community Asks Why”

In the Outstanding TV Journalism Segment Category, Vice News Tonight was nominated for their 'Black and Trans in Texas' one.

ABC News Nightline was nominated  in the Outstanding TV Journalism category for "Am I Next? Trans and Targeted

Congrats also to my homegirls Trish Bendix, Raquel Willis, Geena Rocero and Dawn Ennis who also received GLAAD Media Award nominations for their work.

Bendix and Ellis are nominated in the Outstanding Digital Journalism category, while Willis and Rocero were nominated in the Outstanding Magazine Article category

I Am Jazz received another nomination in the Outstanding Reality Series category, so congrats to the Jennings family again..
