Expanded LGBTQ Community Acceptance: GLAAD Promotes a lineup of Ambassadors for Enhanced Influence
GLAAD, the organisation that works to accelerate acceptance of the LGBTQ community, has appointed 20 ambassadors to help promote and strengthen its work. These notable figures include celebrities, media personalities, and athletes, who will each have their work tailored to align with their public platform, passions, and personal brand.
Among the ambassadors are stars from popular TV shows such as Selling Sunset and Real Housewives. Chrishell Stause, Meredith Marks, Racquel Chevremont, and Braunwyn Spinner from various Real Housewives franchises have joined the ranks. Queer Eye veteran Bobby Berk and Orange is the New Black alum Isis King are also part of the group.
The ambassadors also include actors like Ronen Rubinstein, Jonathan Bennett, and Sherry Cola. Emmy winner Niecy Nash-Betts and her wife, Jessica Betts, are also part of the group, with Nash-Betts receiving the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles last year.
In her acceptance speech for the award, Nash-Betts paid tribute to her wife, Niecy Nash-Betts, emphasising the importance of representation and visibility for the LGBTQ community.
Media insider Don Lemon, comedian Atsuko Okatsuka, and Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying are also part of the diverse group of ambassadors. The ambassadors will participate in GLAAD's programming and events, including the GLAAD Media Awards, Spirit Day, and advocacy efforts around the Super Bowl and Pride Month.
Rounding out the list are Real Housewives of New York star Racquel Chevremont and Made it Out Media's Mal Glowenke and Mathilde Jourdan. The ambassadors will use their platforms to promote GLAAD's mission and help create a more inclusive world for everyone.
However, it's worth noting that Malcolm-Jamal Warner was not listed as a GLAAD ambassador in the provided paragraphs.
The appointment of these 20 ambassadors comes at a critical time, as the LGBTQ community continues to face challenges and discrimination. By working with these influential figures, GLAAD hopes to make a significant impact and continue its mission to create a world where everyone can live the life they love.
