I’ll add mine—my biggest gripe is brands using the subject for their own PR without donating to/working with a nonprofit to make an impact beyond «taking a stance»
Also noticed the vast majority of campaigns focus solely on cis male-couples
This. I was developing a pr campaign for one of the TCCC brands & explicitly told them this. Team lead got back to me saying there was no budget. Like fishie... you’re literally TCCC you DO have the money. 🌚
Only using queer people in ads that highlight queer topics. You’ve gotta use us in your non-queer focused campaigns, too!
Have very traditional gender presenting couples, especially when it comes to women. No chubby butch representation or masculine females...
An example of one done right: the pause for P&G.

Only supporting lgbtq during pride month really bothers me. Shows it’s not a priority and you’re taking advantage of timing. Also like someone said using lgbt in non-lgbt focused campaigns.
That we're only ALWAYS in HIV medication ads but rarely in any other brand ads. As if we don't drive, eat, buy shit, get our brakes fixed. The list goes on.

I think it’s fair to say there is better representation in other ads now, but I believe GD’s point about HIV med ads still holds true
I think there can be broad support of LGBTQIA+ but also think some brands could dig deep into factions of the communities. For example- lesbians (or could broaden to women) within the community there are different segments. brands that understand the nuances cash in huge. Just see the results from happiest season. Sure it reached more than lesbians. But it drove the most new subscriptions on Hulu than any other feature film, more the streams in opening weekend, the IG lesbians were going nuts, every podcast, even Aubrey Plaza was trending. It’s as if there is an audience wants any attention. Same goes with any faction of the community really.
Anything centered on coming out
Some of y’all touched on this already, but the overall lack of diversity when it comes to casting...
Just don’t. Lmao
