The FX's series Pose won the award for Outstanding Drama Series. Presented by Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, the basketball player talked about raising his daughter, who is transgender. He thanks his daughter and GLAAD by saying:
"We stand as allies with the LGBTQ+ community as proud parents of a transgender child. Our daughter Zaya is leading us in our journey, and we're doing all we can to give every one of our kids the ability to live their truth. I didn't always understand how to do that – but I thank Zaya for teaching me, and GLAAD for elevating the images and messages that accelerate acceptance in every family."
