Abbi Jacobson and Chanté Adams accepting the National Visibility Award on behalf of the cast of Amazon’s A League of Their Own and the importance of representation
“I am so proud that ‘A League of Their Own’ touched so many people in the LGBTQ+ community. It was incredibly important to me – as a queer woman – to represent the different types of queerness that have always existed on the show,” said Abbi Jacobson. “It is a universal story of resilience and hope – and it’s incredibly gay. I’m so grateful to HRC for honoring our whole team – cast and crew that made this together, and for the entire community’s support of our show.”
“Playing Max on ‘A League of Their Own,’ felt so important,” said Chanté Adams. “Portraying her journey as a Black, queer woman in the 1940s allowed me to showcase Black joy during an era not known to do so, explore the different forms of Black love, and show that Black, queer people have always been here. Thank you to HRC for celebrating our show.”
The Events program reaches over 20k members each year through 30 fundraising dinner events, allowing us to elevate LGBTQ+ candidates around the country, keep volunteers engaged, amplify our work in the local community, and solicit corporate sponsorships and donations through our auctions. It also gives these members the opportunity to hear from important speakers who highlight our work.
