Dubbed “the Gay Oscars”, the British LGBT Awards will take place at London’s Grand Connaught Rooms on Friday 13th May and will pay tribute to the individuals and organisations who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to promoting equality and diversity.

The awards provide an important opportunity to celebrate and highlight the achievements of LGBT people throughout the UK and beyond.

If you don’t have a ticket to the sold out British LGBT Awards, you can still be part of the action!

OutNews Global’s editor, AJ Higginson, and TV personality Jonathan Phang will be keeping you posted with updates from the red carpet and the awards ceremony from 6pm.

Linda Riley, CEO of OutNews Global said: “We are delighted to be exclusively streaming the British LGBT Awards this year – the event is completely sold out and by streaming it live we will be able to give access to those who cant attend.”
