People living with HIV deserve both a seat at the table AND the power to shape what happens at it.

For Ryan Alvey, Founder & Executive Director of Positive Change Movement, ending HIV stigma means moving beyond simply sharing stories. Through MIPA (Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS) lived experience becomes leadership, shaping everything from frontline services to executive decisions.

GLAAD’s 2026 State of HIV Stigma Report shows that when people living with HIV have the power to shape the narratives, programs, and systems that impact their lives, we make room for fuller stories and lasting change.

Remembering Dolly. Back in 2011, Dolly Parton made her first appearance at the GLAAD Media Awards to help honor her friend Robert Greenblatt. During her remarks, she spoke about her connection to the LGBTQ community. While introducing her, hosts Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones described Dolly in her own words. ❤️

Dolly Parton was not only the 'Queen of Country Music', but indeed the queen of inclusivity and philanthropy. Her support for LGBTQ people spans decades, from the 1990s by way of her track 'Family' where she expressed that regardless of religion or sexual orientation all should be welcome; to the powerful ballad "Travelin' Thru" which Parton penned for the film "TransAmerica" and earned her an Oscar nomination; to her early support of marriage equality in 2009, well before its legalization. Parton's warm spirit, kindheartedness and joie de vivre deeply resonated with the LGBTQ community, cementing her as a global q***r icon whose art always held space for outsiders, no matter the risk. Parton's entire career was built on love and respect for all, and her unwavering allyship is a legacy that will last forever.

If anyone knows how to handle a little reality TV chaos, it’s Ariana Madix. Since joining the villa on Love Island USA, the Emmy-nominated host has become one of reality TV’s most beloved stars.

The Season 8 reunion of Love Island USA premieres on Monday, August 31, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. PT) and will stream exclusively on Peacock.
