GLAAD

What Does GLAAD Mean?

GLAAD means the organization formerly known as the "Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation."

GLAAD is a US non-governmental media monitoring organization founded in 1985, by LGBT people in the media. It is devoted to countering media discrimination against LGBTQIA issues and promoting understanding, acceptance, and equality.

GLAAD was an acronym for "Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation." However, in March 2013, GLAAD was adopted as the primary name of the group, as the full name could be perceived as excluding bisexual and transgender issues.
