The GLORIAs, an acronym for the unwieldy "Gay and Lesbian Outrageous, Ridiculous and Ignorant comment Awards", is an annual event organised by NSW Labor MLC Penny Sharpe.



Mock awards are handed out to the people who made the most offensive comments about LGBT people, as voted by members of the community.

This year, 60 nominations were whittled down to 32 for the colourful night, hosted by Melbourne comedian, Kirsty Webeck, with entertainment from Sydney drag queen, Barbara Blacksheep.

Turnbull was awarded the Golden GLORIA in a raucous boo-off for not speaking out against attacks on the Safe Schools Coalition LGBTI anti-bullying program and for sticking with Tony Abbott's plan for a plebiscite on marriage equality.
