GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis was also in attendance, where she delivered a powerful speech about the importance of inclusion within Hollywood. “In this moment of crisis, what’s different is our community is holding companies accountable,” she said. “So I have a message for the industry: don’t wait until you’re in the hot seat.
There’s no more time to sit on the sidelines. We need Hollywood on the front lines, fighting for our rights and telling our stories. “GLAAD is calling on Hollywood to take meaningful action and will soon convene the biggest brands, agencies, studios, and streamers together with two goals: One, to commit to improving the quantity, quality, and diversity of LGBTQ images — especially in kids and family programming; and two, to speak out against anti-LGBTQ legislation in favor of rights like the Equality Act. “I expect every industry executive in this room to join us.
