Forty years ago, GLAAD's founders came together to tell the truth about who LGBTQ people really are to counteract the media spreading fear and disinformation about LGBTQ people and the AIDS crisis. They knew that if they could do this at scale— if they could shift the story— the world would change.

I am glad to see SCOTUS denying Kim Davis's attempt to overturn marriage equality.
These baseless attempts to invalidate marriage for same-sex couples are designed to intimidate our community and put families like mine in danger. We all deserve to be happy, and if we choose, to get married.
