GALECA and its annual Dorian Awards were created in 2008 in Hollywood, California, by John Griffiths, former long-time television critic for magazine and contributor to Emmy Magazine of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Griffiths was the nonprofit's Executive Director until 2025, when Diane Anderson-Minshall took over the role.

Motion Picture Association of America website "The Credits", June 13, 2018, By Christine Champagne, "Get to Know GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics"

In 2019, GALECA joined forces with the African-American Film Critics Association, Latino Entertainment Journalists Association (LEJA), the entertainment and features arm of the Asian American Journalists Association, the Online Association of Female Film Critics, and Time's Up Entertainment's CRITICAL initiative to form Critics Groups for Equality in Media (CGEM), to promote diversity in journalism.

The Hollywood Reporter, January 21, 2023, By Rebecca Keegan, "Time’s Up to Halt Operations"

Due to COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the film business, for its 2021 film awards, GALECA adjusted its window of eligibility to movies released in 2020 and the first two months of 2021. The 2022 Dorian film awards considered movies released in the remaining months of 2021. In that two-year period, award contenders vied for "Best Film" rather than "Film of the Year," which the group restored in 2023.

Also in 2023, GALECA introduced the Crimson Honors, a college journalism contest for aspiring film and TV critics, focused on elevating female and nonbinary students of color in the LGBTQ community.
