GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis responded in a statement:
"The White House appointments today reflect the seriousness of
the MPV outbreak...we must get more vaccines to vulnerable
people, especially sexually active gay and bi men, and accelerate all
efforts to inform the public to track, test, treat and contain this
virus as quickly as possible. Bob Fenton's experience shows this
can be done. Dr. Demetre Daskalakis is a longtime LGBTQ and HIV health
advocate whose work will be critical to ensure the federal government
responds to the needs of the medical community and the LGBTQ community
in equitable ways." Read the full statement here.

YouTube de-monetizes anti-trans videos from Jordan Peterson; GLAAD
still pushing for more action from the platform
Elliot Page and Jordan Peterson
[link removed]
After right wing pundit Jordan Peterson spewed horrible anti-trans
hate, including targeting actor Elliot Page with repeated malicious
misgendering and deadnaming, YouTube announced this week that two of
those videos would be de-monetized.
GLAAD responded to the news: "In de-monetizing these two videos,
YouTube is confirming that Jordan Peterson's hate-driven
anti-trans rhetoric is in violation of the platform's community
guidelines. However, in only de-monetizing rather than removing the
videos YouTube is failing to truly enforce its own Hate speech policy
which asserts: 'We remove content promoting violence or hatred
against individuals or groups based on ... gender identity and
expression.' It is shameful that these videos remain active,
with millions of views, continuing to perpetuate hateful and false
narratives at the expense of trans people everywhere." GLAAD is
working behind-the-scenes with platforms including YouTube to advocate
for more action on anti-LGBTQ hate on the platforms.
Ina Fried at Axios broke the story this week with subsequent
coverage from the Advocate, Them, LGBTQ Nation, PinkNews and others.
