'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.

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.

Our desire to continue telling these stories is now stronger than ever.”
