For roughly the past decade or so, different cultural groups have begun to shift their thinking regarding the true meaning of philanthropy. For most of its existence, American philanthropy has been defined as the very wealthy giving to certain charities and naming programs, buildings, and playgrounds after themselves and their families.

The Power of Real Stories

In February 2022, GLAAD’s 17th annual “Where We Are on TV” report found that LGBT representation on US TV was at an all-time high. Approximately 11.9% of characters on the 2021-2022 primetime slate were LGBT, an increase of 2.8% from the previous year.
