Jamie Lee Curtis and Brandi Carlile were among the distinguished honorees at this year’s Out100 Celebration, receiving The Advocate’s Advocate of the Year and Out magazine’s Icon Award, respectively, for their contributions to advancing LGBTQ+ rights.
“These are very dangerous times,” Curtis said upon accepting her honor from presenter Candis Cayle, “and I’m very happy to be in a room with people who are fighting the best fight they can fight.”
Held on Thursday at NeueHouse Hollywood, the cocktail soiree and red carpet procession featured prominent queer stars such as drag queens Trixie Mattel and Symone, Queer Eye star Tan France and previous honorees like GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.

More anti-lgbtq bills have been introduced in 2023 than any other year in the history of the United States. Although estimates of just how many vary widely, the Movement Advancement Project (Map), an independent non-profit think tank, provided data to Rolling Stone projecting that more than 700 bills have been put forward in 2023 that seek to strip rights and protections from the LGBTQ community. More than 75 of those bills ultimately passed, including limitations on trans youth athletes who wish to compete in school sports, and the first-ever laws restricting public performances of drag.

Maren Morris made history Saturday night in New York City when she became the first country music artist to receive GLAAD’s excellence in media award.
During the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards, the Grammy-winning performer was presented with the honor by Cynthia Lee Fontaine and Alyssa Edwards.
“I felt a little badass taking on Tucker Carlson for calling me a lunatic for standing up to transphobia,” Morris told the crowd while holding her trophy. “Maybe I did feel a little cool. But I don’t want to gloat. I would never insult the recently unemployed.”
The New York Hilton Midtown ballroom erupted in hoots and loud applause that made the “My Church” singer pause and smile.
The LGBTQ+ supporter famously had a war of words with the recently terminated Fox News personality when he dubbed her a “lunatic” and a “fake country music singer” during an interview with Brittany Aldean in August.
