Nearly three years ago, a coalition of 100+ organizations and leaders–including GLAAD–launched a campaign against the @nytimes.com’s biased, inaccurate coverage of transgender people. A former NYT editor shares her perspective about what's really going on:

The @orlandosentinel.com is suing Florida’s Department of Transportation for withholding records about the department’s August 2025 destruction of the rainbow crosswalk memorializing the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social is once again taking a stand for all New Yorkers, and making sure every young person has healthcare that they need.

"As networks and streamers look to build their audiences, keep them engaged and paying for a subscription every month, telling diverse, nuanced and interesting LGBTQ stories is going to be key to that bottom line" Read more via @thewrap.com: www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

We're wishing you a happy holiday season from everyone here at GLAAD. We hope you're spending time with those you love. ✨❤️

Access to healthcare saves trans lives 🏳️‍⚧️

Strong message from @newyorkstateag.bsky.social directly to transgender youth and their families. Allies across the country are doing all they can to stand with trans youth, and our community will survive these outrageous attacks from the Trump administration.

One more absurd anti-trans attack on her way out the door. MTG leads a bill to jail doctors who prescribe best practice health care to trans youth. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain. Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

Trump mentions “transgender for everybody” all the time, but nobody in the White House press corps has asked about what he means. I asked and got a wild response. www.advocate.com/politics/tra...

Lawmakers must listen to patients, families, and health care providers: “Bills like this are dangerous [...] They say that it’s to protect children, but they’re trying to prevent people from getting health care that actually lowers the rate of suicide for trans youth and trans people in general.”

AIDS Alabama brought the Birmingham community together through two impactful events that honored those living with and affected by HIV, spotlighted culturally grounded care, and fostered connection around treatment, prevention, and healing.

We're devastated about the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Rob's contributions to cinema, television and pop culture were legendary. Rob and Michele were fierce advocates for LGBTQ equality and acceptance, notably being in the fight against Proposition 8 in California.

CONGRATS to TWO of our Youth Voices alumni, Annabelle & Mia, on @glaad.bsky.social's 20 Under 20 for their activism! "Their journey in activism flourished when Mia linked up with the Youth Voices program at It Gets Better, which uplifts outspoken and influential LGBTQ youth around the globe." 💜

"What were critics – LGBTQIA+ or not – saying about queer movies in the ‘80s and ‘90s? How were queer communities writing about movies before the internet? And why are queer critics historically and currently important to pop culture?" via @rottentomatoes.com

"GLAAD’s auction for Carey’s jacket begins on Monday (Dec. 8) at 3 p.m. ET. All proceeds raised from the auction are set to benefit the organization’s Transgender Media Program"

"Trans youth joy is possibility. It’s being able to imagine the future – not as an abstract idea, but as something real and reachable. But joy isn’t just an emotion for us. It’s resistance. It’s survival. It’s a declaration that we are not going anywhere.”

For the Washington Post, lacking expertise on transgender care makes you more credible, because you're "more neutral." fair.org/home/on-tran...

“In a region with lots of opportunity, new lights are shining. It’s Southern, it’s Black, it’s Brown, it’s queer, it’s rural, it’s resilient, and it’s not going anywhere.” -Ian L. Haddock

HIV stigma is still one of the biggest barriers to care, but storytelling can shift culture. This #WorldAIDSDay, GLAAD celebrates the advocates, artists, content creators, and community leaders using their voices to challenge misinformation and reimagine what HIV representation looks like in media.

In a recent interview with @them.us, Josh Hutcherson shared some words of encouragement for trans women: “F*ck the noise. Haters are gonna hate. Haters are just fans on a bad day. Just f*cking do you.” 🏳️‍⚧️

Last week, we joined other organizations in hosting “Give Them Their Flowers,” a first-of-its kind national virtual vigil for the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Rebecca Heineman was a trailblazer and used gaming as a platform because so many marginalized people find refuge in gaming, and she put those two things together and fought for all voices - women, trans folks - across the board. Hear more about her legacy and impact here ⤵️

“Trans people have always been here… and now, for the first time in history, we have supportive parents at scale. That gives me enormous hope.” Tekla Taylor from @transequality.bsky.social on Radio Catskill.

Today on #TransDayofRemembrance, we gather to remember those who have passed and Give Them Their Flowers. GLAAD is honored to co-host a virtual event tonight at 6pm ET.

"I propose we honor the lives we remember today by answering the church’s call to remember the dead by exhorting our church to reconsider its policies, attitudes, and remarks about transgender people, which too often have the overall effect of legitimizing the bigotry that kills."

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. 🏳️‍⚧️

Gaming icon Rebecca Heineman has died after her battle with cancer. She was an out transgender woman, and is remembered across the gaming industry for her pioneering leadership, and across the LGBTQ community for her steadfast advocacy.

“This recognition is for each and every one of you, [including] every queer person who came before us, who blazed the trail so a reporter like me can stand authentically on this stage and tell these stories today." Congrats Jake and @windycitytimes.com! windycitytimes.com/2025/11/17/j...

In the aftermath of the SCOTUS ruling, many LGBTQ Americans and our allies are going on record to reinforce their support for marriage equality, and to tell Kim Davis (and those who think like her) to “go away.” glaad.org/lgbtq-americ...

SUPPORT TRANS EQUALITY! 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransAwarenessWeek

On Nov. 20, #TransDayofRemembrance, we gather to remember those who have passed and Give Them Their Flowers. GLAAD is honored to co-host a virtual event with @transequality.bsky.social: action.transequality.org/a/tdor-gathe...

"If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender people—not the political talking points, not the legislation, but the real, live humans behind the headlines." www.newsweek.com/the-trevor-p...

Trans allies, lift up trans voices and speak out. There is no LGBTQ without the T. Our collective equality is connected to the safety and freedom of transgender people.

Each year between November 13 – 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face. 🏳️‍⚧️
