TAC takes action for lgbtq equality

MUSIC IN ACTION: LGBTQ+ VOICES IN MUSIC PANEL

Thank you to the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs, GRAMMY Museum and GLAAD for letting us be a part of their panel on Tuesday, Jan 21st.

Thank you Carlie Hanson, Carlos Vara, Lauren Jauregui, CHIKA and Justin Tranter for being the featured LGBTQ+ artists on the panel. They came together to discuss how their queer identities shaped their creative work and how they use their social platforms to foster LGBTQ+ community, activism, and ally-ship.

Thank you to the bright students at Blair High School who came to learn from our experienced artists. Together with Glaad, they discussed LGBTQ+ media training and their individual power to advocate for LGBTQ+ issues online.

A special thanks to Justin D. Joseph from the Recording Academy, and Anthony Ramos from Glaad for helping us host and curate the panel.

Feel the Pride is a global celebration that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. The community-powered experience brings together voices from the global LGBTQI+ community and transforms them into a dynamic tapestry of light and sound. Each unique soundscape is created using samples recorded by St. Vincent and generated directly by your messages. Once guests have experienced the installation, they have the opportunity to take action through signing up online to volunteer, learn more, or donate through LGBTQI+ activist organization GLAAD. The installation is powered by Microsoft AI.
