Greg Berlanti accepts 2024 Governors Award in heartfelt speech

Famed television creator, producer and writer Greg Berlanti accepted the 2024 Governors Award at the Emmys on Sunday.

Berlanti called receiving the award a "deeply humbling honor of a lifetime" and said he'd wanted to work in television "even before I knew how that was possible."

"There wasn't a lot of gay characters on television back then, and I was a closeted gay kid, and it's hard to describe how lonely that was at the time. There was no internet to connect with other queer kids. No LGBTQ+ advocacy groups in schools. Back then, the only way to tell if another kid might be gay was if he also watched 'Dynasty,' 'Dallas,' and could name all four of 'The Golden Girls.'"

Berlanti also shouted out his husband and "soulmate" Robbie Rogers and their two children.

"When I think about it, to have traveled that distance from that scared kid years ago to this stage, with my husband in the audience and our two beautiful children, Caleb and Mia, watching at home … when I think about how much the world had to change to make the life I'm living now possible, even in hindsight, it's unimaginable to me."

Berlanti spoke of his mother, whom he said he lost to cancer several years ago, for always believing in him.

"The belief she had in me still lingers, long after she's gone," he said. "That's how powerful belief is."

Joshua Jackson and Matt Bomer presented this year's Governors Award to Berlanti.
