I keep hearing "if you can see it, you can be it" in reference to female empowerment in the industry, so I want to apply it to this community too. Who's your LGBTQ+ advertising hero?

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?
