NEWS & RAPID RESPONSE
GLAAD Points to Book Bans as Just One Arm of Organized National Attack
on LGBTQ Youth
Banned Books Week
[link removed]
Banned Books Week (September 18-24) is an annual event celebrating the
freedom and constitutional right to read, especially in the classroom.
GLAAD urges reporters covering Banned Books Week to properly
contextualize book bannings as part of a larger organized movement to
target LGBTQ youth. A recent report released by PEN
America shows that 41% of books banned over the past year
were targeted due to LGBTQ content. GLAAD President and CEO, Sarah
Kate Ellis was quoted saying "There's no separating book bans
from 'Don't Say Gay' laws, attacks on healthcare and
sports for trans youth, and the hundreds of other bills and policies
that put LGBTQ youth at the center of a target built by extremist
groups and politicians. Everyone deserves to see themselves
represented in books and other forms of media, and the targeting of
LGBTQ youth through book bans and other anti-LGBTQ school policies
must end." Click here to read more.

LATINX HERITAGE MONTH
GLAAD releases guide for industry leaders in entertainment
Latinx Heritage Month
[link removed]
Latinx Heritage Month began September 15th, and GLAAD has been rolling
out a slew of resources and content in observation and
celebration.
This week, the Spanish-Language Media team introduced a new
guide in both English and Spanish, to help creators
(writers, producers and others working in entertainment in the US,
Latin America and Spain) do more and better LGBTQ-inclusive
storytelling. The guide draws from GLAAD's efforts inspiring and
teaching creators from film studios and series writer's rooms around
the country to do better work, and placed those best practices into
one guide specially tailored for people creating more diverse
storytelling, and wanting to reach the billions of people who watch
Spanish-Language shows and films.

BRIGGLE FAMILY UPDATE
GLAAD presented the Briggle family with your words of support
Briggle Family
[link removed]
Earlier this year, GLAAD and partner organizations released this
PSA featuring Amber Briggle, the Texas mom, and her
transgender teenager, Max. The PSA reminds the world of just how
vulnerable our transgender youth are and how much they need vocal
allies. Kids like Max are viciously targeted by anti-transgender
politicians and school boards across the country every day. In the
previous GLAAD Insider, we shared an opportunity to share a message of
support to the Briggle family. Recently, GLAAD surprised the Briggle
family with a giant card featuring all of your kind words. Check out
their reaction here
