OUTFRONT & GLAAD Celebrate Pride Month 2025 with "One Story. One Future." Campaign
Plus, Special OUTFRONT Moments Series to Feature Legacy Photographer Peter Hujar and Spotlight Emerging LGBTQ Artists NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OUTFRONT Media Inc. (NYSE: OUT), one of the largest out of home (OOH) media companies in the United States, today announced the launch of "One Story. One Future" in collaboration with GLAAD, the world's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization. This is the company's third-annual PRIDE partnership with GLAAD, a month-long OOH campaign calling on LGBTQ community and their allies to stand together for equality, love, and freedom, amplifying the message that while every queer person has a unique story, all are bound by one shared future. Building on 2024's "Protect Our Pride" and 2023's "15 Seconds of Fabulous," the 2025 GLAAD partnership will appear across OUTFRONT's national network of digital billboards, transit displays, and street-level assets throughout June. The campaign is inspired by the concept of 'friction & flow', growth that comes from moving through tension, protest, and community connection. The campaign creative invites viewers to reflect on how a world that is safer, freer, and more joyful for LGBTQ people benefits everyone. "Pride has always been powered by storytellers — the creators and truth-tellers who dare to envision a more just world," said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO. "Our stories only reinforce that LGBTQ people are in every American family and have the same American values of fairness and freedom to be who you are. At GLAAD, we know that stories shift culture — and one storyteller can ignite a movement. That's the heart of One Story. One Future. Whether you have millions of followers or just a few of your friends and family, it is time to mobilize your influence on social media and beyond. This Pride Month, the most courageous act is showing up — loudly, visibly, and without apology — for the LGBTQ community and for the future we all deserve." As part of this year's celebration, OUTFRONT will also feature two Pride-focused takeovers across its Moments content platform. In partnership with Artsy, Moments in Culture will showcase "QUEER ART NOW", a curated series highlighting captivating works from emerging LGBTQ+ artists redefining the boundaries of contemporary art. This content will run throughout June on digital transit screens across New York's MTA, Miami's Brightline, and San Francisco's BART, Caltrain, and VTA. In New York City's MTA, OUTFRONT will also present a special edition of Moments in Art in collaboration with MoMA, featuring Peter Hujar's iconic photograph "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed." The image honors the legacy of Candy Darling, Warhol superstar and transgender actress, and Hujar's broader work documenting people who clung fiercely to the freedom to be themselves. "OUTFRONT is honored to once again partner with GLAAD to celebrate Pride Month," said Liz Rave, Vice President, Marketing of OUTFRONT Media. "Along with our special Moments programming, this year's Pride celebration is all about spotlighting LGBTQ art and stories, and there's no better canvas than OOH to bring that to life. Our assets transform public spaces into powerful moments of pride, inclusion, and self-expression." About OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Candy Land: Hari Nef Walks Through a New Exhibition on Actress and Warhol Superstar Candy Darling
Vogue: Hari, I'd love to know when you first became aware of Candy—and what are your first memories of seeing her? Hari Nef: I probably first became aware of Candy on Tumblr. Prior to Tumblr, I had my own references of fashion as fashion, art as art, film as film, but Tumblr was where these things started to talk to each other. And the time that Tumblr was a dominant social media platform was also a moment when identity politics, as we now recognize it and speak about it, started to coalesce into a language and set of standards on the internet—specifically in the way discourse from college campuses and theory books started to become disseminated and boiled down on the internet. And so Tumblr is where this idea of a trans archive or a trans history started to cohere for me. You have these really, really compelling images of this woman, Candy Darling, that are so delectable, and they fit so well into a broader grid of Steven Meisel photos and Antonioni movie stills and all of these things that I was discovering. There was this image of this woman who looked like the most gorgeous Old Hollywood movie star, but to find out that she was a transsexual and mixing with the Warhol crowd… I knew plenty about Andy Warhol; I read any book I could find about him in high school, and Factory Girl came out in theaters when I was in high school. I knew about Edie Sedgwick; I knew about this scene, and I knew that that was the Petri dish of so many things that I thought—and still think—are 'cool.' But to realize that there was a transsexual in this midst, who was so beautiful and so celebrated and left behind her a testimony through her diaries that sounded a lot like the things that me and some other girls were talking about, [regarding] our lives and articulating our desires and identities and bodies… If you just looked a little bit deeper, past the images—here was a woman who was speaking from inside of all that, 50 years before any of us were. And who had some agency, and was making movies with the likes of Warhol….
