GLAAD President & CEO stated, “At a time when some LGBTQ people could be isolating in homes that are not affirming, GLAAD is bringing together the biggest LGBTQ stars & allies to send messages of love, support & acceptance. So many LGBTQ people, especially our youth, depend on support from local community centers around the country & during this time of financial distress, we must come together as a community to ensure that all LGBTQ organizations can continue their life-saving work.” The livestream will raise funds for LGBTQ community centers that are members of CenterLink a coalition of more than 250 LGBTQ community centers globally. Denise Spivak, Interim CEO of CenterLink concluded, “LGBTQ centers are the heart of the community & throughout the COVID-19 pandemic these centers have continued to provide vital connectivity & services, pivoting to virtual programming, modifying in-person services when possible & ensuring that their communities have resources & support when they need it the most.”
