Who Will Receive the Stephen F. Kolzak Award?
GLAAD recently announced that Cynthia Erivo will receive the prestigious Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the 2025 ceremony.
The award is annually presented to an LGBT celebrity who has “made a significant difference in raising visibility and promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people and issues” over the past twelve months.
Sarah Kate Ellis, the GLAAD president and CEO, praised Erivo, stating, “Her legacy is defined not by her numerous accolades and honors but by how with each new platform and milestone, she continues to show up for Black, queer, and other marginalized peoples amid her well-deserved success. As she continues to shatter glass ceilings, I am certain her commitment to showing up as the intersectional and authentic person she is will never falter, and it is a privilege to present her with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at this year’s GLAAD Media Awards.”
