“Ted Lasso,” “Yellowjackets,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Renee Rapp were just a few of the winners from the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards, held Thursday night at the Beverly Hilton.
It’s the first of two dual ceremonies — the second happens May 11 in New York City — but we’ll go out on a limb and say it’s the best one because it’s first, and in Los Angeles (just kidding). And prior to the awards actually being handed out, the stars were out in force with some absolutely iconic looks for the Red Carpet.
Among them were Sydney Sweeney, Wayne Brady, Chlöe, Jason Sudeikis, Niecy Nash, and that’s barely a sample. Read on and see some of the best outfits and fiercest attitudes from the GLAAD Media Awards 2024.

Ron Nyswaner will soon be traveling to New York to reunite with his Writers Guild of America East fellows for a grand occasion. The Oscar-nominated screenwriter, producer and showrunner has been selected to receive the Walter Bernstein Award at the 76th Writers Guild Awards at New York’s Edison Ballroom on April 14.
The honor — named after the late screenwriter who was blacklisted for his political views only to persevere and get his career back on track with such credits as Fail-Safe, Semi-Tough and Yanks — is presented to writers “who have demonstrated with creativity, grace and bravery a willingness to confront social injustice in the face of adversity,” per the organization.
Nyswaner has been doing that for pretty much his entire career. A prime example is Jonathan Demme’s 1993 film Philadelphia. Penned by Nyswaner, the Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington-starrer was the first major Hollywood film to dramatize the real-world...

“Johnny B! Johnny B!” Matt Bomer exclaims as he logs in to Zoom to join his Fellow Travelers co-star, Jonathan Bailey, to do press for their critically acclaimed Showtime limited series.
“Hey, Matty Mo,” Bailey replies.
The actors spent about six months filming the eight-episode series — so, of course, they’ve established a playful bond. On this particular day, they’ve even given each other nicknames.
“I don’t think I’ve ever called Matt ‘Matty Mo’ in my life,” a smiling Bailey says.
“I love Matty Mo,” Bomer replies. “Listen, I love Matty Mo. I appreciate it.”
Bomer and Bailey built a brotherhood and onscreen chemistry for the historical romantic drama about two male political staffers who fall in love at the height of the Lavender Scare, a time when homosexuals were banned from holding positions in the federal government. The series — based on Thomas Mallon’s 2007 novel of...

Fellow Travelers told two complicated queer love stories that traversed the decades, starting in the Lavender Scare during 1950s McCarthyism and extending through the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. The Showtime limited series stars Matt Bomer as the closeted Senate staffer Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller (he’s now Golden Globe-nominated for his performance), Jonathan Bailey as the conservative political aid-turned rebellious Tim Laughlin, Jelani Alladin as journalist Marcus Hooks, and Noah J. Ricketts as performer and activist Frankie Hines. Where Hawk and Tim’s relationship was defined by Hawk’s fear of coming out at all, Marcus and Frankie’s relationship was more so defined by Marcus’ struggle to defy gender norms. Marcus was masculine and mostly dated similarly masculine men. When he started to fall for Frankie, who performed in drag and expressed themselves in other more feminine ways, he was confused. This confusion stunted their relationship for years. In later decades,...

Every so often, a series comes along that changes the game for the LGBTQ community and educates the masses about who we are and the discrimination we too often face. Whether a series brings Black transgender women to the forefront of the conversation like Pose or reminds young people and families that queer youth exist and deserve happiness like Heartstopper, we can all feel when a series has that perfect combination of a well-told story and a nuanced, accurate portrayal of LGBTQ people and issues.

If films and series about queer Americans in the 20th century can sometimes feel like a march through collective trauma, well, much of the 20th century was traumatic for the LGBTQ community. And Showtime’s new limited series “Fellow Travelers” (adapted from Thomas Mallon’s novel by Ron Nyswaner) includes a lot of it, from the lavender panic of the McCarthy era through the White Night riots in the aftermath of Harvey Milk’s assassination to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. But woven throughout those momentous events, along with the star-crossed romance between Hawkins Fuller (Matt Bomer) and Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), are historically accurate moments of queer joy. Yes, gay culture existed (and thrived!) pre-Stonewall.

From the opening verse of Steve Wonder’s “If It’s Magic” to its closing image of a teary remembrance framed by an American landmark, “Fellow Travelers” doesn’t bother disguising itself. The hallmarks of a tragic romance are as plain as the plastic nose on Senator Joseph McCarthy’s face, so Showtime’s eight-part limited series embraces its unmistakable genre staples, leaning into its historical framework to evoke added pathos for our paired protagonists. After all, if you’re telling a decades-spanning gay love story reaching from the Lavender Scare through the 1980s AIDS crisis, then you’re going to cross some trodden territory.
Like an austere companion piece to “Angels in America” by way of Douglas Sirk, creator and writer Ron Nyswaner’s unabashed melodrama doesn’t suffer by comparison (to either giant) as much as it carves its own gripping (if worn) path through earnestness, insight, and passion.

Circumstances throughout history have forced people to hide defining aspects of themselves. Yet, there is a profound cruelty in denying the truth of one’s being, even if it is a means of survival. Based on the bestselling novel by Thomas Mallon and adapted for television by Ron Nyswaner, “Fellow Travelers” is a sweeping love story spanning three decades. It’s a narrative about what it means to simultaneously spend a life completely with someone while entirely separate from them. The Washington, D.C.- set drama series is told through the perspectives of two very different men. Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller (Matt Bomer) is a charismatic federal bureaucrat whose stoic demeanor and hypermasculine charm enable him to neatly tuck his sexuality away, mostly evading suspicion. In contrast, Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey) is the boyish new assistant to Sen. Joseph McCarthy (an unrecognizable Chris Bauer), full of idealistic views and a...

In the most lacerating episode of Max’s dearly departed comedy The Other Two, the characters attend the premiere of a Broadway show titled 8 Gay Men with AIDS: A Poem in Many Hours. Wondering about future roles for his Method-actor boyfriend, who stars in the play, Drew Tarver’s Cary wonders, “Is there anything coming up that is prestigious and gay, but doesn’t have, like, nonstop trauma in it?”
The fact is, we’re not at a point, as a society, where we can stop telling stories of trauma. There remains a cultural need for narratives that foreground the AIDS epidemic, that acknowledge the horrors of the Holocaust and slavery. That said, if you’re going to do a trauma-fueled, decades-spanning odyssey of gay life from McCarthy to Reagan, weaving in the Red Scare and the early days of AIDS, comparisons to Angels in America are going to be inevitable.
