The GLAAD Media Awards recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives.
On the 12th of April the 25th annual GLAAD award show were held in Los Angeles, and we are very happy to congratulate Manny de Guerre who is the organizer of the Russian lgbt filmfestival “Side by Side” reicived the inaugural International Advocate for Change Award. The festival offers a safe space where straigth and lgbt Russians can come together in dialogue. The main theme of the festival is “different love, equal rights”. It’s difficult to comprehend how important it is to have a lgbt filmfestival in Russia, and the award is very deserved!
