Nonbinary Performers Make History at Tony Awards
TL;DR Summary
J. Harrison Ghee and Alex Newell made history at the Tony Awards by becoming the first out nonbinary performers to win awards. Ghee won for best leading actor in a musical for "Some Like It Hot," while Newell won for best featured actor in a musical. The wins come at a time when gender identity is a central issue in America's culture wars. Ghee hopes the industry can remove gender from awards categories and let the work speak for itself.
