Voices of Color

GLAAD elevates the voices and stories of community leaders and LGBT people of color to raise awareness and understanding of LGBT people in communities where visibility is low. GLAAD's strategists also work with organizations serving LGBT communities of color to help them to share their stories and respond when media outlets miss the mark in their coverage of LGBT people of color.

In GLAAD's People of Color Media Institute, dozens of LGBT people and allies who are of African, Asian or Latino heritage learn how to speak out in their communities in ways that build support for LGBT equality. Our team places these voices in local and national media outlets - so that their stories and their support for the LGBT community can reach millions.
