GLAAD APPLAUDS GRAMMY NOMS

GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis issued a statement following the unveiling of the 64th Grammy Award nominations, applauding the “vast inclusion of LGBTQ artists among this year's nominees, which highlights not only a growing shift in cultural acceptance but also the dominant impact LGBTQ artists are making across the music industry.”

GLAAD has highlighted nominated work by Lil Nas X, Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga, Tyler, The Creator, Japanese Breakfast, Brothers Osbourne, Arlo Parks and more.

Added Ellis, “With five total nominations, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year, Lil Nas X continues to open doors for greater LGBTQ inclusion in rap and hip-hop, which will undoubtedly inspire and empower a new generation of artists to embrace their authenticity and individuality.”
