Dorian Awards: GALECA

GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, home of the annual Dorian Awards, is currently comprised of approximately 240 professional (as in paid—and not just with respect) journalists who write on television and film for reputable media outlets in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. These outlets run the gamut from magazine to radio . . . regional to national . . . trade to consumer . . . and LGBTQ-centric to mainstream.

Formed in 2009, GALECA’s Dorian Awards toasts the finest in movies and television across the board—not only “gay stuff.” The awards are named with a wink to our patron saint — the inimitable Oscar Wilde, of course!

GALECA was originally an acronym for “Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association,” but in 2017 we revised our name to underscore our inclusivity. Most GALECA members identify as a member of the LGBTQ-munity, be they lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, though we happily include demonstrably committed ally journalists in our ranks.
