"At a time when coverage of LGBTQ issues is declining, LGBTQ media remains critical in amplifying the voices and stories of those within the LGBTQ community," said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. "The Advocate is a glowing example of how media can be used as a driving force to amplify diverse LGBTQ voices, accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ people, and hold those in power accountable. The Advocate's honor as Outstanding Magazine at this year's GLAAD Media Awards is representative of the publication's tireless work to keep LGBTQ issues and people front and center at a time when we need it most. Congratulations to Pride Media CEO Diane Anderson-Minshall, The Advocate editors Tracy Gilchrist and David Artavia, as well as their talented and dedicated team of journalists including Neal Broverman, Trudy Ring, and Daniel Reynolds."

Also, throughout 2019, Zach Stafford served as editor in chief of The Advocate and its digital iteration.
