Excerpt:

The Las Culturistas podcast hosts, while receiving the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the 2026 GLAAD Media Awards, announced they were donating $10,000 to Equality Kansas in response to the state's recent and immediate revocation of transgender people's driver's licenses. Onstage at the Beverly Hilton Thursday, the pair called the Republican-controlled legislature's act "unconscionable and inhumane." "We can’t accept this award without condemning the rampant, active transphobia from this administration and its supporters. And we are also here to let them know in advance that they are fighting a losing battle," Rogers said. "Because when we gather in rooms like this, we are always going to have each other's backs."
