“AOL Originals’ True Trans with Laura Jane Grace is an important series that amplifies the voices of trans people from all over the country, helping to raise awareness about the legal and cultural disparities that transgender people confront daily,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “GLAAD is thrilled to support this project and grateful that AOL Originals has donated ad space for GLAAD’s public service announcement, which sends the message that bullying is just not acceptable.”
