A sparkling and sequined who’s-who crowd of queer performers, celebs, and influencers gathered in Hollywood for the 12th annual Queerties Awards to celebrate the biggest and brightest LGBTQ+ innovators and icons.
This year saw a record-breaking 2.5 million votes across the categories, so it was only fitting that trailblazer and herstory-maker Jinkx Monsoon served as mistress of ceremonies.
Rosie O’Donnell received the Icon Award in celebration of her expansive career in film, TV, comedy, and now TikTok.
David Archuleta, who was up for Best Music Video, introduced this year’s Straight Up Ally recipient Paula Abdul with a show-stopping medley of her biggest hits. Including, of course, “Straight Up.”
Trace Lysette received the Groundbreaker Award from Joey Soloway for her remarkable resume including "Monica."
