Comedian Wanda Sykes was recently honored with the Career Achievement Award at the Critics Choice Association’s 2nd Annual Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television. During her acceptance speech, Sykes called for the protection of the transgender community, stating, “Protect our trans brothers and sisters… that’s our next movement.” She emphasized the importance of love over hate and the need for unity within the LGBTQ+ community.

The event highlighted the achievements of LGBTQ+ creators and talent in the entertainment industry, showcasing both emerging and established individuals. Other honorees included Bowen Yang, Bridget Everett, Eric d’Arbeloff, the Queens of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Niecy Nash-Betts, and Tramell Tillman. Each honoree shared their own inspiring stories and messages of empowerment.

Sykes, currently on her “Wanda Sykes Please and Thank You” tour in Europe, made a special appearance at the event to accept her award. She expressed gratitude for the love and support within the LGBTQ+ community, acknowledging the strength that comes from facing adversity together. Sykes commended the community for their resilience and urged everyone to stand proud and loud in the face of discrimination.

Nash-Betts, in her acceptance speech, reflected on her childhood dream of being “Black, fabulous, and on TV,” thanking the Critics Choice Association for recognizing her true self beyond her on-screen roles. She encouraged the audience to continue breaking barriers until there are no more closets to hide in.

Yang, honored with the Comedy Award, humorously acknowledged the shared comedic talent within the LGBTQ+ community, stating, “I’ve never met a non-funny queer person.” He praised his fellow honorees and highlighted the importance of humor in navigating a sometimes hostile world.
