Excitement filled the air as GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis and host Frankie Grande took center stage at the much-anticipated GLAAD’s fifth annual #SpiritDay Concert. This monumental event showcased some of the music industry’s most talented performers and emerging queer intersectional artists, truly revolutionizing the industry and changing the world as we know it.

More than just a night of incredible performances, the #SpiritDay Concert served a greater purpose by amplifying GLAAD’s mission to accelerate acceptance and empower LGBTQ youth, parents, educators, and allies to envision a future where acceptance reigns supreme. Thanks to the support of Live Nation and The Recording Academy, this annual GLAAD tradition opened its doors to the public for the first time, ensuring that as many people as possible could witness the magic unfold.

The concert lineup was nothing short of exceptional, bringing together a diverse range of talents to create an unforgettable evening. From the powerful vocals of Lauren Jauregui and the infectious energy of VINCINT, to the captivating performance by The Scarlet Opera and the immense talent of Wayne Brady, each artist took the stage with the same purpose: to inspire and uplift.

Major sponsors Hyundai and Official sponsor M&M’s demonstrated their commitment to the cause, recognizing the importance of supporting events that promote love, acceptance, and equality. By aligning themselves with the #SpiritDay Concert, these brands showed that they stand with GLAAD in rewriting the script for LGBTQ acceptance.

It’s worth mentioning that this awe-inspiring event is part of the larger #SpiritDay movement, which originated in 2010 as an anti-bullying campaign aimed at uplifting LGBTQ youth. Celebrated on the third Thursday in October, it serves as a catalyst for much-needed visibility and offers hope to those who face bullying at disproportionately high rates. GLAAD’s call to go purple on #SpiritDay has emboldened millions of people around the world to take a stand against discrimination and support LGBTQ youth.

GLAAD, as a dynamic force in the media landscape, remains committed to reshaping narratives and provoking dialogue that leads to cultural change. By rewriting the script for LGBTQ acceptance, they continuously strive to create a world where everyone can embrace and live the life they love.
