    winners of the 2021 GLAAD Special Recognition Award

    Today Out is proud to exclusively announce the winners of the 32nd Annual GLAAD Awards Special Recognition.

    GLAAD Media Awards Special Recognition awards exist to celebrate media projects that don't fit neatly into the general categories. This year's honorees include Rain Valdez, Kevin Spiritas, Justin Tranter, and Steven Clay Hunter.

    "From podcasts to music to short films and series, the recipients of Special Recognition at the 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards represent a wide range of dynamic media projects that should tell Hollywood and the broader media industry that audiences are demanding for more LGBTQ stories," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. "During a year filled with unique and unprecedented challenges, these projects put a spotlight on diverse segments of the LGBTQ community in innovative ways, ultimately helping to inspire, uplift, and raise the bar for LGBTQ representation in media."

    Check out all of the winners and the acceptance speeches below.
