The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists (NLGJA) announced today that The Advocate is the 2024 recipient of the Legacy Award. As the oldest LGBTQ+ publication still in circulation in the United States, The Advocate has had a front-row view of the cultural shifts that have shaped the LGBTQ+ community -- from Stonewall and the AIDS crisis to marriage equality and the ongoing challenges facing transgender and nonbinary people. Many thanks to the NLGJA for this incredible honor.
