I’m just starting at Mullen. I was in the Winston-Salem, NC office for my internship and it was AMAZING. I’m pretty young and I felt like I met other LGBTQ people there who inspired me and made me realize how amazing my life can be. That might sound strange, but before that experience I never imagined my life could be easy — particularly in the South (which is where I’m from). So many allies. So many inspirational people. So much love for that place.

Hi family! New to this app. A little disappointed as I said LGBT so promenently displayed on the fishbowl website.

To answer the question, I haven't worked somewhere ever where I felt 100% respected / valued. I have felt tokenized and misunderstood, but made the best of it.

Any other insights on culture and expectations at WS’s DC office would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?
