The Supreme Court's ruling on transgender youth participating in school sports is at odds with the fundamental principles of fairness, freedom, and family that define our country and our communities. (1/3)

Out now: the Comptroller’s Office LGBTQIA+ 2026 Resource Guide. This guide connects LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers with essential resources including healthcare, legal, and more. Grateful to speak with @sarahkateellis.bsky.social president and CEO of @glaad.bsky.social about the importance of this resource.

Tech leaders must proactively embrace intentional practices to create safe products. Read my interview with @mashable.com

HUD's proposed rule change targets protections based on sexual orientation as well as gender identity. Opponents of transgender people can, do, and will come after LGB people too. We must stand together against all attacks against any of us.

Read the full report: glaad.org/2026-ai-repo...

✅ Respect data privacy: adopt privacy-by-design, minimize data collection, never infer identity without consent ✅ Engage LGBTQ communities from the earliest stages of development

GLAAD’s key recommendations for AI developers and deployers: ✅ Fix the foundation: ensure inclusive LGBTQ representation in training data ✅ Don't automate discrimination: audit agentic AI before it scales ✅ Maintain human oversight in content moderation

The AI industry can and must follow best practices. Biased training data can be corrected. Content moderation can protect LGBTQ voices instead of silencing them. Privacy safeguards and red-teaming with LGBTQ communities can be built in from day one.

AI is already shaping how people find information, apply for jobs, and engage with the world. The question isn’t whether AI will affect LGBTQ lives. It’s whether companies will build it responsibly.

Today GLAAD released “Build for Everyone,” our first comprehensive report on LGBTQ Responsible AI. It’s a roadmap for building AI that actually works for LGBTQ people — and everyone: glaad.org/2026-ai-repo...

Neutrality is no longer an option. AI systems trained on data that wrongfully positions LGBTQ lives as ‘fringe’ or treats our equal rights as ‘controversial,’ or that fail to catch sophisticated disinformation about LGBTQ people, threaten our health, safety, and civil rights.

So excited to see MOLLY’S TUXEDO in @peoplemagazine.bsky.social as part of this awesome Pride list curated by @glaad.bsky.social president and CEO @sarahkateellis.bsky.social! Check out all 9 titles at the link in my bio and stories: people.com/9-lgbtq-book.... 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #GillianReid #LittleBeeBooks

You can’t cancel Pride, no matter how hard you try. Families are made of love. We have families in the LGBTQ community and we celebrate them in Pride. (1/4) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHqL...

Today is the tenth anniversary of the the Pulse Nightclub shooting that happened on June 12, 2016. We remember the victims and honor them with action. 💔

For LGBTQ+ students, and for students of all backgrounds, access to books that reflect who they are and their experiences is not a luxury. It is part of a safe, inclusive learning environment. (1/3) www.advocate.com/opinion/hr76...

Yesterday, the @glaad.bsky.social president @sarahkateellis.bsky.social previewed our forthcoming AI report. AI raises so many questions and issues...and GLAAD's lane is #LGBTQ representation. We are making sure that AI is keeping LGBTQ people safe and providing accurate information.

These results of the @glaad.bsky.social 2026 Pride Poll confirm what most Americans already believe: we are at our best when we treat our friends, family, and neighbors with basic dignity and respect. (1/3) glaad.org/glaad-poll-s...

“This is an existential fight – and we all need to be in it or risk losing democratic freedoms that have been hard-won over the past 250 years,” @sarahkateellis.bsky.social writes via @thewrap.com

"The report appears to criticize so-called conversion therapy... 'every person, first and foremost, is singular, irreducible, irreplaceable, and original... created in the image and likeness of God.'” (1/3) www.washingtonblade.com/2026/05/07/n...

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous to the existence of an independent and free media. Take action: glaad.org/fcc

Leading social media companies today do not meet basic best practices in content moderation, transparency, data privacy, and workforce diversity — and continuously refuse to meaningfully prioritize the safety, privacy, and expression of LGBTQ people and other marginalized communities. (1/5)

The freedom to read is not partisan. It is American. Tell Congress to oppose the Federal Book Ban Bill here: action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661

Voters continue to turn the page on this shameful era of book banning and book banners. LGBTQ students, families, and staff, and our allies, deserve a safe place to learn and thrive. bsky.app/profile/tani...

This Court has ruled against civil rights in more than half of cases since 2020, with extreme consequences for women, LGBTQ people, and minorities.

The Court’s decision “threatens a half-century’s worth of gains in voting equality,” Justice Kagan wrote. The South has the highest percentage of LGBTQ people in the US. One in four LGBTQ Southerners is Black.

First Jimmy Kimmel, now Brendan Carr is looking at LGBTQ+ content. “Parents should absolutely have a say in what their kids watch, and parents already know that seeing an LGBTQ person on screen or in real life does no harm,” GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

@glaad.bsky.social joins civil rights leaders nationwide to condemn the partisan and deeply troubling attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center. For more than 50 years, SPLC has been a leader in the fight against racism, anti-LGBTQ hate, and all forms of violent extremism. (1/3)

Parents should absolutely have a say in what their kids watch, and parents already know that seeing an LGBTQ person on screen or in real life does no harm. What does cause harm is government overreach. (1/2)

Resolutions like this do more to reveal the cluelessness of elected officials whose own families and those of their constituents have various family dynamics and structures. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

The strongest families are grounded by love. Lawmakers trying to exclude and intentionally harm some families should be recognized as actively harming all by not focusing their time working for an inclusive Tennessee where all are welcome and can succeed.

Take action now and sign onto @everylibrary.bsky.social's petition here: action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661

A dangerous federal book ban bill, HR 7661, is moving through Congress to erase LGBTQ stories from public schools and libraries by threatening them with defunding. This is not about protection; it is a targeted attempt to erase our families.

We stand alongside over 100 grassroots and national advocacy organizations, publishers, booksellers, parent groups, and professional associations in opposition to H.R. 7661. Use the EveryLibrary action center to urge your representative to vote NO, or better, yet, to not take it up for a vote.

The Court once again prioritized malice over best practice medicine. Young people should be met with support and best practice healthcare when they access mental health services – not fear or shame from so-called providers who want to force them to change who they are. (1/2)

Health care for transgender people and youth is supported by every major medical association and world health authority.

“Health care services for transgender young people remain legal, and the federal government cannot intimidate or punish the providers who offer them.”

Dolores Huerta is an incredible force in the Labor Rights Movement and beyond. It was an honor to share space with her and learn from her about movement building. Thank you for your bravery and courage. We must believe women and stand with survivors.

LGBTQ people and our stories belong. Defeat this national book ban push 🏳️‍🌈 📚 🏳️‍⚧️

The next No Kings protest will mark the largest collective exercise of free speech in American history -- an undeniable indicator that Americans of all backgrounds support democracy and the Constitution. (1/3)

Gender-affirming care is health care.

Telling our stories is a powerful tool for change. Together, we’ll continue to build a future that is fair, just and a future that is free for all of us. #GLAADawards

URGENT: Florida's "Anti-Diversity in Local Government" bill is a sledgehammer aimed at cities and counties that recognize the diversity of the people they serve. This dangerous bill is a priority for Governor DeSantis, has passed the FL Senate, and could face a vote on the House floor at any time.

Secretary Noem's disastrous leadership will forever be marred by the murders of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and countless others we are still learning about at the hands of ICE agents conducting violent, lawless arrests and in ICE custody. (1/2) apnews.com/article/trum...

Florida just cut off access to HIV treatment for 16,000 people. And they’re not alone. It’s not just cruelty…it’s a deadly public health crisis in the making. Resources for those directly impacted at the end.

Invalidating driver's licenses and enacting a bounty-style bathroom ban are the latest escalation in politicians' radical anti-trans crusade. Kansas, we'll see you in court.

The USA Women’s hockey team and their history-making Olympics brought us all joy and excellence, on the ice and off. They are the true winners. (1/3)
