As an ongoing production of Instagram Live conversations, the #GLAADHangouts series consists of thought-provoking and impactful dialogues between GLAAD and notable guests, influencers, and community leaders who are working to create greater LGBTQ representation and accelerate LGBTQ acceptance.
During a time when the digital content market is more saturated than ever, the #GLAADHangouts series stands out and continues to expand its brand recognition. #GLAADHangouts is an opportunity to continue to garner support for the LGBTQ community and connect to our diverse and inclusive community of 418K+ Instagram followers.
