GLAAD Media Award

The GLAAD Media Award is an accolade bestowed by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to recognize and honor various branches of the media for their outstanding representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives. In addition to film and television, the Awards also recognize achievements in other branches of the media and arts, including theatre, music, journalism and advertising.

Honorees are selected by a process involving over 700 GLAAD Media Award voters and volunteers and are evaluated using four criteria: "Fair, Accurate and Inclusive Representations" of the LGBT community, "Boldness and Originality" of the project, significant "Cultural Impact" on mainstream culture, and "Overall Quality" of the project. Results are then certified by a "Review Panel" who determine the final list of recipients based on voting results and their own "expert opinions".

The 1st GLAAD Media Awards ceremony honoring the 1989 season was held in 1990, and recognized 34 nominees in 7 competitive categories.

Simply Amazing

by: Claudette Ortiz

[Verse 1]
You make me feel protected, like your my body guard
You take me everywhere, like your my chauffeur & I'm a star
All of the things you do, is me find who you are & you are everything to me
Whenever I get lonely, your there to be my friend
And when I'm sad, you make me laugh like a comedian
And like someone creative, you think of different ways
To make me feel special each day
[Chorus]
All I can say, is your simply amazing
I'm in love, with everything about you
Please don't change, your simply amazing
& I don't know what I would do without you
[Verse 2]
You cook just like a chef, & serve me like a butler
Your like my doctor baby, heal my body like no other
God is the greatest artist, & he gave me a masterpiece
The moment that he sent you with me
You are my favorite person, your like a celebrity
When I'm around you, I just feel like I'm a better me
You are my dream come true, you show me different ways
To make our life go each day, that's all I can say
[Chorus]
All I can say, is your simply amazing
I'm in love, with everything about you
Please don't change, your simply amazing
& I don't know what I would do without you
I-i-i-I've never been so in love before
Cause I never thought I'd find that special someone, who's perfect for me
I can't believe it happened, but you came my way, baby stay
Cause your simply amazing
[Chorus]2x
All I can say, is your simply amazing
I'm in love, with everything about you
Please don't change, your simply amazing
& I don't know what I would do without you
[Background Singers]
Your simply amazing, that's all I can say
I'm in love with everything about you
You do so much for me, your a Jack of all trades
