Emmy Awards

Last night was a good night for RuPaul, who took home three Primetime Emmy Awards. Other LGBTQ nominees didn’t fare as well.

Mj Rodriguez’s nomination for “Pose” is certainly a milestone for Hollywood. It also gives hope to the many other trans actors that suffered through erasure and negative representation.

One of the greatest basketball players in history, Kobe Bryant found time for RuPaul’s Drag Race with his wife. “I was surprised by that. That surprised me,” RuPaul said.

“I was told that I needed to ‘get it under control’ around people in the business,” Carver says. He came out a few months later.

“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I had been taught about myself and halfway believed, before I could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here.”

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” won big, and so did several actors in LGBTQ roles.

Tom Arnold is looking for the tapes of Trump using the n-word, which Burnett says he doesn’t have.

The LGBTQ community had a good year for representation on the small screen.

Have we just scratched the surface?

They want to compete for an Emmy as “someone who experiences their gender identity as falling outside the boxes of ‘man’ and ‘woman.'”

Transgender Americans are two to three times more likely to serve in the military than their fellow cisgender civilians.

“I know I should’ve come out sooner and I’m sorry for that,” said the actor as he accepted the Trailblazer Award at Outfest.

“Topple the patriarchy!” shouted Jill Soloway, who won the Outstanding Director for a Comedy Series Emmy.

Jimmy Kimmel, who first hosted a pedestrian Emmys in 2012, came back and did much better.

Jill Soloway was lauded for her commitment to raising awareness and representation of the LGBT community — both in front and behind the camera.

Ru beat out Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Jane Lynch, Ryan Seacrest and Steve Harvey for the trophy.

“Here it comes, he’s gonna lay me out,” Tambor told Seth Meyers.

What’s next? Maybe an all-trans “Golden Girls” reboot with Cox and the actresses from the Emmy-nominated “Her Story?”

LOS ANGELES — “Modern Family” and “Breaking Bad” triumphed at Monday’s Emmy Awards, proving that established broadcast and cable series retain the power to fend off challenges from upstart online series like “Orange Is the New Black.” The ceremony’s emotional high point came with Billy Crystal’s restrained and graceful remembrance of Robin Williams, who died Aug. 11…

HBO’s “The Normal Heart” has won the Emmy Award for best made-for-television movie.

The critically acclaimed film depicts the rise of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City between 1981 and 1984, as seen through the eyes of writer/activist Ned Weeks, the founder of a prominent HIV advocacy group.
