Arab American & Middle Eastern Communities

You only have to turn on the TV or flip through a magazine to know that representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Arab American and Middle Eastern American people don’t reflect the diversity of our community.

We can help you make a difference. Because at GLAAD we know that what people watch on TV or read in the newspaper shapes how they view and treat LGBT people. To increase the visibility of Arab American and Middle Eastern American LGBT communities in the media, we offer:

  • Media Trainings –tools and strategies for effective media work.
  • Spokesperson Trainings – preparation for persuasive media interviews.
  • Media Advocacy – responses to problematic media images of Arab American and Middle Eastern American LGBT people.
  • Resource Guides – culturally competent LGBT terminology and facts for accurate news coverage. 
  • Media Consultations – story ideas and Arab American and Middle Eastern American LGBT and allied spokespeople.
  • Script Consultations – fact checking and advice for authentic storylines about Arab American and Middle Eastern American LGBT people.
