Friend,
Today, GLAAD celebrated an
unprecedented level of LGBTQ inclusion scheduled for the broadcast of
Super Bowl LIV on FOX. At least six LGBTQ-inclusive ads will air and
Katie Sowers, the trailblazing gay Offensive Assistant Coach of the
49ers, is set to take the field.
GLAAD
also launched a petition today calling on the American Family
Association’s ‘One Million Moms’ (OMM) project, and its executive
director, Monica Cole, to call it quits after the AFA project spoke
out against one of this year’s LGBTQ-inclusive ads. The Southern
Poverty Law Center lists the American Family Association as a
designated hate group for its anti-LGBTQ activism. Click here to add
your name to GLAAD's petition and show One Million Moms that their
tactics aren't working.
GLAAD advocates for brands and
companies to include LGBTQ people and families across advertising
media. GLAAD also tracks LGBTQ inclusion in advertising and during
major cultural moments like the Super Bowl. In the words of GLAAD
President and CEO, "The level of diverse LGBTQ inclusion from at least
six advertisers during advertising’s biggest night, coupled with Katie
Sowers’ trailblazing role as Offensive Assistant Coach of the 49ers,
mark a rainbow wave at the Super Bowl this year." If you’re watching
the game, you’ll be able to see GLAAD friends including Ellen
DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Lil Nas X, Jonathan Van Ness, Trace
Lysette, Isis King, and drag performers including Kim Chi and Miz
Cracker.
Friend, if you believe that it's time for One Million Moms
to pack it in and call it quits, add your name to GLAAD's petition
now:
Thank you so much,
Your friends at GLAAD
