The 36th GLAAD Media Awards is the 2025 annual presentation of the GLAAD Media Awards by GLAAD honoring 2024 films, television shows, video games, musicians and works of journalism that fairly, accurately and inclusively represent the LGBT community and issues relevant to the community. [1]

Unlike in previous years, the awards was presented in one ceremony on March 27, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, rather than two separate ceremonies in Beverly Hills, California and New York City. Special recognition was given to DRAG: The Musical, La Verdrag” (Canal Once), OUTLOUD, “Red Ink: A Tribute to Cecilia Gentili,” The Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, “The Q Agenda” (LatiNation), and the New York Liberty.

The category of "Outstanding Blog" was renamed as "Outstanding Independent Journalism" to expand eligibility to more digital news and commentary outlets covering LGBTQ issues.
