Research and Reports
Our work increases media accountability and community engagement that ensures authentic LGBTQ stories are seen, heard, and actualized.
GLAAD’s research and reports provide critical insights into LGBTQ representation in media, tracking progress and highlighting areas for improvement. From analyzing Hollywood films to assessing news coverage and social media platforms, GLAAD’s data-driven reports shape industry standards and drive meaningful change. Widely recognized as authoritative resources, GLAAD’s reports were viewed and quoted more than 200,000 times last year, influencing conversations across media, advocacy, and policy.
No one should be bullied or called names simply for being who they are. Still, millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth are made to feel like they don’t fit in every day; some even feel unsafe. Check out GLAAD’s Amplify Your Voice Resource Kit to find tips and information for educators, parents and youth.
