Woah! Gender neutral categories at The Brits
In a progressive move for award shows all over the world, the Brits have chosen to make all categories gender-neutral, eliminating the best male and best female categories to accommodate those artists who identify as non-binary. The move comes soon after pop-star Sam Smith’s announcement to change the pronoun he uses for himself to “They/ Them”.
The topic of gender-neutral categories in award shows has been a topic for quite a while now, with gender equality and equal recognition of talent being at the centre of it all. This move from The Brits may be the catalyst for change everyone has been waiting for.
