Nominations for the 31st annual GLAAD Awards have been released, with over 176 nominations. This years focus is bringing together a diverse selection of point of views and making sure there is equality and representation regarding gender, race, and sexuality.

“The GLAAD Awards this year not only celebrate new LGBTQ stories that educate, entertain, and affect positive cultural change, but remind LGBTQ people and allies that in an election year, our visibility and voices have never been more important,” said GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement.
