While still light years away from fair portrayal in the media as well as full social and cultural acceptance, the gay, lesbian and transgender community have had a strong ally the last 25 years that has positively broadened the views of the public in The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). Established in New York in 1985, GLAAD “amplifies the voice of the LGBT community by empowering real people to share their stories, holding the media accountable for the words and images they present, and helping grassroots organizations communicate effectively.” Working from that key word, amplifying, Lippincott worked pro-bono to create their new identity, which was introduced this past March 13 at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York.
