GLAAD

GLAAD, originally the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, is a U.S.-based non-profit organization founded in 1985. It focuses on media monitoring and advocacy to promote fair and inclusive representation of LGBTQ+ communities in media and entertainment. With offices in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, GLAAD addresses discriminatory portrayals and works to foster cultural change. The organization operates through various initiatives, including media monitoring, advocacy campaigns, and public education. Key programs include the Media Reference Guide, which provides guidelines for respectful LGBTQ+ storytelling, and the Accelerating Acceptance Report, which tracks public opinion on LGBTQ+ issues. GLAAD also recognizes positive media portrayals through its Media Awards and responds to harmful media coverage in real time. It generates research reports, toolkits, and educational resources to support media professionals and activists. GLAAD collaborates with media outlets, corporate partners, and LGBTQ+ communities to drive systemic change and promote acceptance.
