And the winners of the 2017 Queerties are…
The Queerties have arrived, that time of the year when readers of Queerty get a chance to vote for best of LGBTQ Media and Culture. In fact, you voted 300,000 times, a record turnout.
The winners of the 2017 Queerties have made a difference simply by entertaining in a queer friendly manner or by championing our cause, even when it’s not necessarily in the job description.
Ok, except for the “2nd Worst Person in the World,” who can buzz off.
