'After Forever' Receives Special Recognition From GLAAD Media Awards

The GLAAD Media Awards announced After Forever is one of eight recipients of their Special Recognition Awards. Co-Creator Kevin Spirtas shares, “After Forever is honored to receive this special recognition from GLAAD. As an independently produced series featuring a story about love and loss for gay men over 50, we enthusiastically share the mission of honest LGBTQ portrayals in the media. This award could not have come at a more sensitive time for us, after losing my co-creator/writing partner, Michael Slade, to cancer just prior to the New Year. Our desire to continue telling these stories is now stronger than ever.”
