Leading gaming headset and accessory maker Turtle Beach
Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR) announced a partnership with
GLSEN to support GLSEN’s efforts to ensure all
students feel safe and supported, regardless of sexual orientation
or identity. Turtle Beach and GLSEN recognize that support
for the LGBTQ+ community is more than a one-month effort but takes
ongoing and continuous work to ensure inclusivity for all. In that
spirit, Turtle Beach and GLSEN will be working closely
together over the next year to support LGBTQ+ students in the
classroom and in any of their virtual experiences while gaming.
Additionally, there will be opportunities for Turtle Beach
employees and influencers to engage with the organization and
students to amplify the two organizations’ combined initiatives.
GLSEN joins other foundations and organizations that Turtle
Beach actively supports to bring more inclusion to underrepresented
communities in gaming.

Turtle Beach and GLSEN partner to support
LGBTQ+ students in the classroom and in their experiences while
gaming.
“A gamer is a gamer, period, and the enthusiasm and level of
play for all gamers should only be defined by their love of the
game,” said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO of Turtle Beach. “We
wanted to find a way to make a long-term difference that extends
far beyond Pride month and GLSEN’s focus on children and students
is a perfect fit as part of our ongoing efforts with leading
organizations to support diversity and inclusion in gaming.”
“Gaming has become a highly social activity so inclusion is
essential in order to provide everybody an opportunity to enjoy
their time while playing. Today’s students use their time online as
an opportunity to not only reach a level of mastery in a game but
also as a way to bond with friends and learn about others,“ notes
Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, Interim Executive Director of
GLSEN. "To have the support and backing of a gaming industry
leader like Turtle Beach means the world to the kids we are
supporting, and it ensures that messages and programs we develop
will be heard more broadly. More kids will be valued and respected
in all the communities they are a part of no matter if they are
digital or physical in nature. We thank the team at Turtle Beach
for their support and we look forward to achieving great things
together.
GLSEN works to create safe and inclusive learning
environments for all. GLSEN envisions a world in which every
child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of race,
sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, and/or gender
expression. Each year, GLSEN programs and resources reach
millions of students and educators in K-12 schools, via action at
the national, state, and local level. Since 1990, GLSEN has
improved conditions for LGBTQ+ students across the United States,
helped launch an international movement to address LGBTQ+ issues in
education, and is committed to the advancement of its mission and
the greater good to equity and justice, specifically racial, gender
and disability justice in K-12 education.
