What does GLAAD mean?

GLAAD
GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is an American non-governmental media monitoring organization founded by LGBT people in the media. Before March 2013, the name "GLAAD" had been an acronym for "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation", but became the primary name due to its inclusiveness of bisexual and transgender issues.

    It has no meaning. They have dropped the original name that formed the acronym in lieu of using just the acronym GLAAD as their new name. I guess they could be Gay and Lesbian Anti-Attention Deficit for those who did not notice they changed their name. Just be GLAAD that no tax dollars were used.
