LOS ANGELES, Calif. — GLAAD hosted its 2025 Latine Honors, a celebration of LGBTQ Latine leaders in entertainment, advocacy, and journalism.
The event gathered top Spanish-Language and Latine media, along with Latine nominees, at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles ahead of the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards which will stream exclusively on Hulu on April 12.
The celebratory evening was hosted by standup comic Roz Hernadez and featured a show stopping live performance from drag superstar Salina EsTitties, presented by Hyundai Motor America.
Our ABC7 Community team spoke with some of the honorees, performers and attendees on the red carpet before the evening kicked off.
GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis shared with us the importance of this program; “This should be the 10the annual, so, we’re really excited about doing this work and spotlighting our Spanish language work. It’s always been a part of our media awards but also to have this special night to focus on it. This program has been at GLAAD for twenty years, our Spanish language program.”
Spanish-Language Special Recognition Awards were presented on-stage to “The Q Agenda” (LatiNation) and “La Verdrag” (Canal Once) for their immeasurable contributions to queer Latine visibility in their sectors of entertainment and news media. This marked the first time GLAAD Media Award honorees have been awarded prior to their respective GLAAD Media Awards ceremony.
Special guests included David Archuleta, Jonathan Burke, Kirstie Diaz, Pixie Dot, Victoria Bazúa, Linda Yvette Chávez, Jordan Gonzalez, Harvey Guillén, Roz Hernandez, Brigitte-Muñoz Liebowitz, Ian Paget, Christine Pike, Vico Ortiz, Johnny Sibilly, Juan Torres-Falcon, Sofia Yepes and more.
We were able to get an exclusive red carpet snippet of David Archuleta’s new single, “Crème Brulée'”.
