Webby Winners That Showed Pride
 
This year’s projects that fight for and celebrate LGBTQIA+ lives
 
 

This month marks WorldPride in New York City, and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising—which means we at The Webbys are celebrating and standing in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities and those who fight to protect their livelihoods both on and offline.

So we are shouting out a few of this year’s Webby Award-winning projects that showed Pride, and used the Internet to advocate for LGBTQIA individuals everywhere!

Check them out below.

Universal Love

Universal Love tapped into the MGM Resorts history of hosting same-sex weddings before legalization, by reimagining the lyrics of “classic” love songs. The soundtrack, and vinyl record, features iconic musicians like Bob Dylan, Kesha, Kele Okereke, St. Vincent, and more singing new takes on old songs, to represent different forms of love.

Hear the Love
Trans in America

It is our duty to love and protect transgender children. This Webby Winner for Documentary: Longform tells the story of Kai, a young trans girl in Texas in order to shed light on her experience and the 207 Texas bathroom bill that would have endangered her well-being.

Marriage Unblocked

Why rely on institutions to legitimize our love? Marriage Unblocked uses blockchain technology to let partners upload encrypted vows forever, and receive a digital certificate as a symbol of their love. Yes, we’re reaching for tissues, as well.

Still Processing

Here’s to a Webby-winning favorite: Still Processing. While the podcast isn’t centered on queer and trans lives, hosts Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris often discuss weekly topics through a queer lens of color—a perspective that is oh, so necessary.

Dive into this amazing episode on Ryan Murphy’s hit show “Pose,” and the impact of seeing chosen queer families in pop culture.
