On Sunday, Guillén also shared a carousel of photos from the festivities on Instagram, including a photo of the couple walking hand-in-hand towards the elevators.

"Had the best time hosting the 34th annual @glaad awards in NYC last night," he wrote. "I was surrounded by love and support !"

Back in March, Guillén opened up to PEOPLE about the importance of representation in media in a photo diary for the the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles. (The awards are presented annually at two ceremonies in New York and Los Angeles.)

"We are at a moment in time now that will determine who we are as a society. So I wanted to encourage those in the room to make the queerest, most flamboyant, most beautiful trans content we can dream," Guillén explained.

He continued, "So that those kids, in places like Tennessee, Florida and Texas, know that there is a world of acceptance and celebration, not just for who they love, but who they are. We can be hope. We can be educators. We can be lifelines. But above all we must be courageous."
