Revry Streams Queer X Awards on National Coming Out Day. Winners Announced

Last night, in honor of National Coming Out Day, Revry, the first global LGBTQ+ streaming service, and Discover presented the return of the annual Queer X Awards.

This prestigious event recognizes and honors outstanding individuals and allies who have made an impact. Since its inception in 2016, the Queer X Awards have been a symbol of inclusivity, applauding the achievements of those who have shaped the LGBTQ+ landscape.

"The annual Queer X Awards symbolizes a momentous celebration of extraordinary achievements within the LGBTQ+ community," said Damian Pelliccione, co-founder, and CEO of Revry, in an AdWeek report. "Happiness, pride, and celebration are essential to shift the focus from mere representation to actively cultivating joy and acknowledgment within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond."

The event, which was streamed by Revry, was hosted by Arice Wanzer, a transgender model and actress that has walked in Miami Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, Latin Fashion Week, and L.A. Fashion Week, and Dexter Mayfield, a dancer, and plus-size model from CBS's "Come Dance with Me."
