Elliot Page, Joaquín Bondoni, Laverne Cox top ‘Queerties’ Awards
Elliot Page, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, Sarah Paulson, Schitt’s Creek, The Prom and Putting On were top winners at this year’s Queerties, the only awards show that that exclusively awards film, television, social influence and more in the LGBTQ+ community, that included a performance by Bright Light Bright Light. Other winners include Shangela, Trixie Mattel, Laverne Cox, the documentary Disclosure, Instagram star Joaquín Bondoni and TikTok sensation Josh Helfgott, along with so much more. The show is now available to view for free On-Demand on Revry.
The Queerties celebrate the best in LGBTQ entertainment and activism in traditional categories like Best Performance and Best Film but also with kitschy ones like Badass those individuals who stood up for themselves and others and Girl Bye for those who stood for tearing down rights and humanity.
Hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 Miss Congeniality winner Heidi N. Closet and Queerty Editor-in-Chief Dan Tracer, this year, Q.Digital and Lexus presented Angelica Ross with the Groundbreaker Award and Billy Eichner received the MVP Award.
