The British LGBT Awards are a British
award show that aim to "recognise individuals and organizations that display outstanding commitment to the
LGBT community".[1]
In 2020, the awards were delayed due to
COVID-19 pandemic.[12] Ultimately the ceremony were held virtually on 27 November 2020.[13]
2021
In 2021, the awards returned to an in-person ceremony and were held on 27 August 2021.[14]
2023
The 2023 awards were held on 23 June 2023. The awards were protested[15] by
queer climate activists, who sought to draw attention to the awards' sponsorship deals with
Shell plc and
BP, alongside financial institutions known to finance[16] fossil fuel projects, including
HSBC,
Santander Bank and
Macquarie Capital. Several nominees withdrew[17] after activists raised concerns with them, alongside the planned MC,
Sue Perkins.[18]
