Ostensibly a media-monitoring organization, GLAAD has engaged in numerous provocative actions targeting churches and people of faith. Sarah Kate Ellis, the President of GLAAD, has said repeatedly on news outlets like MSNBC in 2024 that the LGBTQ community is under “attack” from right-wing voices. In 2023, GLAAD joined forces with other organizations and wrote a letter to Target, calling criticisms of LGBTQ pride merchandise examples of “extremism.” In November 2022, GLAAD put out a press release claiming LGBTQ Americans are in danger. In the name of protecting LGBTQ people, GLAAD continually maintains a “Trump Accountability Project” where statements on issues that have nothing to do with sexuality are deemed dangerous to LGBTQ people.
