About
2010 was the inaugural year for The GLORIA’s. Hosted by author, journalist, commentator and general troublemaker David Marr the GLORIA’s is a fun event that shines a light on outrageous, ignorant and plainly ridiculous public comments made about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) people in our community every day.
The event is organised by Penny Sharpe, Labor member of the Legislative Council.
The GLORIA’s are modelled on Meredith Burgmann’s annual Ernie’s awards, an event that has for the last 20 years given awards for the most sexist comments of the year.
Comments across the eight categories - Media, Sport, Politics, Law, Religion, Online, International and Silliest GLBTI comment made from within the GLBTI community, can be nominated by anyone at anytime at www.theglorias.com.au
The GLORIAs are an annual event that shines the light on outrageous, ignorant and ridiculous comments made about our GLBTI citizens every day. The first awards night was held 17th May 2010.
Comments can be nominated throughout the year on this website.
The GLORIAs will culminate in an awards dinner at NSW Parliament House in May 2011. The GLORIA's are hosted by Penny Sharpe MLC.
