  LGBTQ representation in kids and family programming will be honored with The Velmas, an awards series being launched by The Rainbow Project.

The article from Variety discusses the launch of "The Velmas," an initiative by the Rainbow Project aimed at recognizing and promoting positive representations of the LGBTQ community in children's and family programming. Named after Velma from "Scooby-Doo," who has been interpreted as a queer character, the project seeks to honor shows that authentically portray queer characters and themes. The inaugural honorees include "The Owl House," "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power," "The Loud House," "Adventure Time," and "Steven Universe," all celebrated for their inclusive storytelling. The Rainbow Project, which has been advocating for better representation since 2019, uses this initiative to highlight the importance of visibility and acceptance in media, especially in content aimed at younger audiences. The article also mentions the involvement of GLAAD and the broader impact of such representation on viewers, emphasizing the need for more diverse and inclusive narratives in television.
