Dear Friend,

You may wonder why we focus on the media at GLAAD. The truth is: the media is in everything.

It’s what we watch and share. It’s the stories we tell on TV and in movies. It’s the news from Washington, the trending clips on TikTok, the podcasts we play on our way to work.

You see, holding media and leadership accountable doesn’t just change headlines — it changes culture.

For many LGBTQ people — especially young folks — seeing themselves reflected in the media can be life-saving. It says: You belong. You’re not alone. Your story matters.

That’s why we fight to make sure those stories are told accurately, fairly, and with heart.

BUT WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU.

This Pride, help us defend LGBTQ visibility and truth in the media. Your gift fuels the work that too often goes unseen but makes all the difference.

Thank you for believing in this work. Thank you for making it possible.

With pride and gratitude,
