"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.

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.

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)

The visibility of out LGBTQ athletes participating in this year’s Winter Olympics is a victory for representation and a sign of encouragement for a future in which everyone can feel welcome in sports, including members of marginalized communities who have historically been excluded. (1/4

The politicians who pushed this cruel bill, Kansas' SB 244, did not use evidence, they used personal animus against hard-working Kansas residents who are transgender and just want the freedom to be who they are and live safely. (1/3)

"It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights." - Amber Glenn

Bad Bunny and the brilliant musicians who joined him, including out artists Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, represent the best of our country and the values that make it great: love, family, and above all, freedom. (1/2)

Super Bowl LX and the Winter Olympics will feature notable visibility of LGBTQ people and allies, including the halftime show with Bad Bunny, performances and commercials with LGBTQ icons, and the most out Winter Games in history. Get the fact sheet on LGBTQ participation and celebration here:

"Don Lemon’s arrest is a test for our country. Will we accept a future where journalists in the United States are hauled away in handcuffs for covering dissent? Or will we defend the principle that the press exists precisely to shine light into moments of conflict?"- @kerrykennedy.bsky.social

Inclusivity is not propaganda, programming with LGBTQ characters is not a danger to children, and politicians who use ugly rhetoric to the contrary devalue LGBTQ Americans and families. (1/4) www.theverge.com/policy/87353...

State legislative session has begun in many parts of the U.S., offering opportunities for state- and local-based activations for LGBTQ people, their families, and their allies. Learn more about these LGBTQ-related bills activations in Kansas, Florida and Missouri here: glaad.org/taking-the-f...

Bills like Kansas’ SB 244 are exactly why everyday Americans are fed up with lawmakers who prioritize targeting innocent people instead of solving actual problems, and then have the gall to try to hide their actions. (1/4)

Americans should refuse to accept a country where our neighbors fear for their safety. (1/4)

This is not just a photograph, this is a five-year old child named Liam who was used as "bait" in Minnesota and is being cruelly detained. This needs to stop. We must continue to speak out and resist these vicious and extraordinarily harsh policies that make all of us and our children less safe.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills. This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history. If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"The people claiming they were there to “save” women’s sports seemed to know almost nothing about them. And that contradiction reveals something deeper about this debate. This fight was never really about fairness in athletics. It was about who gets to belong." - @jcubedhax.bsky.social

Meeting Kristen, building our lives together, getting married and having kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Showing queer families, our love and commitment to each other has never been more important. (1/3)

We're at the Supreme Court today defending trans kids' freedom to play the sports they love. Politicians are hoping to use this issue to legitimize their effort to push transgender people out of public life — we won’t allow it. This case is about more than a game.

Journalists covering transgender participation in sports should include facts and context in their coverage, seek transgender voices, challenge rhetoric and those spreading it for facts, and include opponents' history of targeting LGBTQ people: glaad.org/fact-sheet-f...
