As GLAAD prepares for its annual Media Awards, the Marque and Hector team used event as a call to the community to support GLAAD, and a celebration of the power of media to effect positive change.
GLAAD’s mission has become increasingly important in today’s world, where LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination and marginalization. Media representation plays a critical role in shaping public perceptions and attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community, and GLAAD’s efforts to promote fair and accurate representation are essential to building a more inclusive society.
