The winners of the 32nd Annual Gay Appreciation Awards were announced at the GAA Gala. With all VIP tables sold out, a standing room only crowd was in attendance at Oz for what has become one of the most highly anticipated events of the year.

As guests entered Oz and walked along the red carpet, they were greeted by former Southern Decadence Grand Marshals Felicia Phillips and Tiffany Alexander who were searching for the Marsha Delain Red Carpet Oscar Award winner. As guests entered Oz and made their way to their VIP tables and the bar, you could feel the anticipation in the air. Who would win?

Awards were presented in 29 categories with the highlight being the heartfelt speech from Lifetime Achievement Award winner Teryl-Lynn Foxx. Without Further ado, here are the winners of each category.
