Billy Eichner, Dan Levy, Kathy Griffin, Sharon Stone, and more will attend the virtual event.
Together in Pride, which seeks to highlight the response to COVID-19 from the LGBTQ community, will be live-streamed across GLAAD's YouTube channel and Facebook Live on Sunday, April 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
Earlier this year, GLAAD joined other LGBTQ organizations in urging the United States government to address the "heightened vulnerability" of the LGBTQ community to COVID-19, in addition to advocating for those living with HIV and AIDS. According to GLAAD, LGBTQ generally experience "higher rates of cancer, HIV, and tobacco use," while many others face discrimination in medical settings.
Denise Spivak, the interim CEO of CenterLink, says LGBTQ centers have "continued to provide vital connectivity and services" during the COVID-19 pandemic. "At a time when some LGBTQ people could be isolating in homes that are not affirming, GLAAD is bringing together the biggest LGBTQ stars and allies to send messages of love, support and acceptance,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement.
