The coronavirus pandemic has forced organizations all over the world to abandon their plans for in-person events and take things virtual, and that's what GLAAD, the world's largest media advocacy organization focusing on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues, did for its 31st Annual GLAAD Media Awards. The awards honor various forms of media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues.

The virtual ceremony, streamed on the organization's Facebook page and YouTube account on Thursday night (a version will air on Logo on Monday, Aug. 3), was hosted by comedians Fortune Feimster and Gina Yashere, and featured appearances from and performances by several LGBTQ stars.
