“Nights like the GLAAD Media Awards remind us why storytelling matters,” said Tony Morrison, founder of Morrison Media Group. “Across every industry represented in that room, storytellers are doing the brave work of telling the truth about who we are. In moments of change and uncertainty, it’s storytellers who lead us through — expanding empathy, shaping culture, and reminding the world what becomes possible when people are empowered to own their stories.”
Together, the Group represents the growing influence of LGBTQ creatives across entertainment, journalism, music, and digital media — and the expanding cultural footprint of voices shaping the future of representation both on and off screen.
