Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Spanish-Language & Latino Media

GLAAD shares LGBT stories in Spanish-language and Latino media, helping build understanding and support among
members of the Spanish-speaking community, the fastest-growing population in the United States. In addition, the program develops culturally competent Latino components to GLAAD’s English-language campaigns, with an eye on the importance of ensuring that Latino LGBT issues are addressed within GLAAD’s work.

Population(s) Served
LGBTQ people
People of Latin American descent

GLAAD’s Entertainment Program not only works with entertainment-related media platforms to encourage fair, accurate, and inclusive representation of LGBT people, but also to combat problematic content and instances of defamation in these industries. This process may involve reading scripts, viewing rough cuts, pitching story ideas, consulting with writers and producers, working with talent to better inform them about portraying LGBT characters, and arranging entertainment related events and panels. GLAAD also releases several annual reports analyzing the state of LGBT representation in film and television, and promotes LGBT-inclusive projects through GLAAD’s blog, social media, and the weekly LGBT TV listings, “Must-See LGBT TV,” and through its annual GLAAD Media Awards.

Population(s) Served
LGBTQ people

GLAAD began the work of improving media representations of transgender people more than 20 years ago. Transgender
people were included in highly visible outdoor ads created by GLAAD in the early 1990s. GLAAD’s Media Reference
Guide on transgender terminology and issues was first distributed to the media in 1999. This history, along with the creation of a dedicated Transgender Media Program, is part of GLAAD’s all-inclusive commitment to transgender people.

Population(s) Served
LGBTQ people
Intersex people

Advances in LGBT equality and acceptance are uneven across the United States. The South, more than elsewhere in the country, is experiencing this reality. GLAAD’s Southern Stories initiative aims to accelerate LGBT acceptance and understanding across the region.

Population(s) Served
LGBTQ people
Ethnic and racial groups
