NEW YORK – May 4, 2019 – Full Frontal with Samantha Bee won its first ever GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Variety or Talk Show Episode for a segment highlighting the removal of many transgender citizens’ rights in our country. The piece, which first aired in the October 24, 2018 episode, brought to light how, in just a few short years, legislation put in place to shield transgender Americans has been stripped away, leaving this community with no protection from hatred and no recourse against discrimination.
