GAA Lifetime Achievement Award Winners

July 16, 2019 By Frank Perez

In 1987, the late, great Marcy Marcell founded the Gay Appreciation Awards.  She later sold the Gay Appreciation Awards to Ambush Magazine.  For thirty-two years, the Gay Appreciation Awards have provided an opportunity to celebrate the incredible contributions and colorful tapestry of our community.  While most of the winners are determined by popular vote, the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award is not.  With input from the staff of Ambush, the Lifetime Achievement Award winner is selected by the GAA Board of Directors.
