Formed in New York in 1985 to protest the New York Post's grossly defamatory and sensationalized AIDS coverage, GLAAD put pressure on media organizations to end the trend of homophobic reporting. In 1987, after a meeting with GLAAD, The New York Times changed its editorial policy to use the word "gay" instead of including anti-gay rhetoric. GLAAD soon advocated that the Associated Press and other television and print news sources follow. Today, GLAAD's Announcing Equality project has resulted in more than 1,000 newspapers including gay and lesbian announcements alongside other wedding listings. Read more at http://glaad.org/about

  • This is a tremendous, stress-filled history. Thank you for your service.

  • Wonderful, loved the video. Thankyou for fighting for all of us, especially those of us who can't or don't know how to. I hope to join you one day

  • Sometimes, GLAAD does a bit of good. They're too far up the asses of hollywood celebrities, though. They do tend to be total starfuckers.

  • I LOVE the LGBT community and I'm not apart of it! I will continue to support for the rest of my life!

  • @QueerSwede1 so totally! ♥

  • Long live the fighters!
