‘Wicked’ and ‘The Wedding Banquet’ Lead Pride Awards Nominations

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are among the 2025 Pride Award nominees. While “Wicked” co-star Bowen Yang landed three nominations.

The Pride Awards is an annual celebration of excellence within the LGBT(Q)i(A)?+ community and its allies. The event, taking place on June 29, at the Lincoln Center, includes a dynamic one-day summit and happens during Pride Month, uniting trailblazers, creators, and advocates across industries to amplify impact and elevate voices.

This year’s programming focuses on visibility, advocacy, and empowerment. The summit will feature curated panels, screenings, and networking spaces centered on wellness, representation, leadership, and creative collaboration.

N. Mabasa-Mathope, founder and President of the awards, said, “The Pride Awards were created to recognize not just the talent and accomplishments of our community, but the courage and resilience it takes to thrive and lead unapologetically. In 2025, we are not only honoring outstanding individuals — we’re building both bridges and legacy.”

The awards and summit represent a full-circle moment in LGBT(Q)i(A)?+ advocacy and celebration — placing power in the hands of the community and acknowledging those using their platforms for purpose and pride.
