According to Alex Schmider, GLAAD’s Senior Director of Entertainment & Transgender Inclusion, "This move by Rotten Tomatoes will enable LGBTQ audiences to more directly support the careers of LGBTQ filmmakers, talent, and inclusive films by having their ticket dollars and votes weighed more significantly in what titles receive greater industry recognition."

LGBTQ people are a growing, visible and impactful voting bloc, and our fundamental freedoms are under attack and at stake in this election. Reporters must include LGBTQ voices in campaign conversations. Our issues and concerns are America’s issues: the right to make our own health care decisions; to be safe at school, work and in our communities; to read the books we want and that reflect our lives and history; to belong and be welcome just as we are. GLAAD research shows when news stories accurately include LGBTQ people, acceptance and safety expands. Media covering the convention and campaign beyond must include LGBTQ Americans and the stakes that deeply affect us, our safety, and everyone’s future. LGBTQ voters made the deciding difference in the 2020 election and are poised to do so again in 2024. Check out this fact sheet to ensure accurate and inclusive coverage of #LGBTQ issues for reporters covering the Democratic National Convention ⤵ https://lnkd.in/epSEaPeU

Since January 1, 2024, the ACLU has tracked more than 500 anti-LGBTQ bills that have been proposed in the US, accompanied by a historic rise in hate crimes against LGBTQ people. In GLAAD’s 2024 Accelerating Acceptance Report, the impact of American political discourse is found to have negative affects on the LGBTQ community, and LGBTQ young adults in particular.

We all have dreams and we should all have the right to chase them. But LGBTQ people still face discrimination that prevents them from making their dreams a reality.

Superintendent Ryan Walters has made school less safe for Oklahoma students. His reign of terror on 2SLGBTQ+ (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer+) students must be stopped. Walters has spent his tenure attacking the very students he is supposed to be protecting, and curated an environment so dangerous that the late Nex Benedict said there was no point in reporting bullying at school because nothing would be done about it. Walters’ toxic and self-promoting, self-enriching record is so reprehensible that his colleagues on both sides of the aisle are rightly calling for his removal. Oklahoma’s students can’t wait for Walters to term out. School administrators must protect students and give them the tools to thrive. Walters himself is a danger to students and seems to not care at all whether they live or thrive. Walters must be removed immediately for the safety of all students. https://lnkd.in/emE4JZ94
