GLAAD amplifies the voice of the LGBT community by empowering real people to share their stories, holding the media accountable for the words and images they present, and helping grassroots organizations communicate effectively. By ensuring that the stories of LGBT people are heard through the media, GLAAD promotes understanding, increases acceptance, and advances equality.

In a pre-Super Bowl interview yesterday, President Barack Obama reaffirmed his opposition to the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on gay scouts and leaders.
During his Inaugural Address, President Barack Obama mentioned the uprising at the Stonewall Inn among other important milestones on the pathway to equality for all people in this country.
We honor those who fought for equality before us.
We love this quote from President Barack Obama’s Inauguration speech (and the fact that he mentioned the uprising at the Stonewall Inn).
Remember when President Barack Obama endorsed marriage equality in an interview with Robin Roberts?
The Good Morning America segment about the endorsement is nominated for a GLAAD Media Award!

Here’s your chance to give back. On Tuesday November 27, 2012, global charities, families, businesses, community centers, students and more will come together for #GivingTuesday.
GLAAD needs your support on #GivingTuesday so we can continue leading the conversation about LGBT equality. Do your part on #GivingTuesday by donating just $2 (or hey, even $22) to support GLAAD’s culture-changing work!
The LGBT community saw huge strides this year, and GLAAD was there every step of the way. President Obama announced his support for marriage equality, hundreds of thousands of Americans took a stand against the Boy Scouts’ discriminatory policies, anti-gay TV commentators are being called out, the Miss Universe pageantbroke ground by including transgender women, and just a few weeks ago, three states, Maine, Maryland, and Washington, voted in support of marriage equality, and Minnesota rejected a marriage ban.
We need your help to continue this life changing work. Please help us by donating $2 or $22 in the name of #GivingTuesday!
