The awards were presented in three separate shows: one in New York City on March 13, one in Los Angeles on April 18, and one in San Francisco on June 5.[1] The Los Angeles event was hosted by Candis Cayne and Wilson Cruz.[2] Alan Cumming hosted the New York awards, and Bruce Vilanch hosted the San Francisco event.[3] Additional guests and presenters included Elizabeth Keener, Tom Ford, Benjamin Bratt and Rob Halford.[2][3]

Comedian Wanda Sykes received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which is presented to an openly gay media professional who has made a difference promoting and advancing equal rights in the community.[2] Sykes publicly came out in 2008 at a Las Vegas rally.[4] She said of receiving the award, "I greatly appreciate the work that GLAAD continues to do, promoting equality, fair representation and tolerance for our LGBT community. I just pray that I don't ruin what GLAAD has achieved with all of my shenanigans."[5]
