GLAAD — Media Advocacy

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Maine · Free

GLAAD rewrites the script for LGBTQ+ acceptance, holding media accountable for fair representation. For LGBTQ+ workers fired, harassed, or denied promotion for their identity, expression, or relationships. EEOC for employment, HUD for housing, DOJ for hate crimes — separate agencies for separate domains. The Fair Housing Act covers LGBTQ+ protections in most jurisdictions through HUD interpretation since 2021. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
