Welcome to GLAAD’s Advertising Media Program! Advertising reaches us in countless ways every day – in our homes, our places of work, and on our daily commutes. The power to reach people with LGBT-inclusive images in so many ways has tremendous power to promote our visibility and change hearts and minds. Whether the images are light-hearted or serious, advertisements are woven into every aspect of our lives and play a role in shaping our culture. That’s why it is so vital that advertising is inclusive of the LGBT community. For those of you may have been familiar with the Commercial Closet Association, you’ll find that the resources that made the site such a valuable tool for those interested in LGBT advertising images are still available, and will continue to be updated. You will also see some changes happening here over time as we expand our work in the world of advertising media and develop new resources for advertising professionals, corporations, journalists and community members. We will also be linking back to www.glaad.org and www.glaadBLOG.org as our work in the world of advertising grows, so keep an eye out for ongoing news and commentary on advertising media. As our community visibility continues to expand, it is vital that we make our voices heard and that our stories and lives continue to be reflected in all forms of media, and that is what GLAAD’s Advertising Media program is all about.
