Do you think there’s any real support for queer people in advertising? I’ve been having issues with my boss, so I started the EDI process at work to report it but it’s starting to look really bleak. I also noticed people don’t post in this bowl very often… all this is starting to make me feel very alone and unsupported. I spoke to a few queer people at work and they’re advice was to start looking for another job. They’re so scared, they don’t even show up at the ERG meetings.

I’m sorry you feel this way, it’s got to be rough and isolating. I don’t know what to say to help, though. If your boss is making queerphobic remarks, definitely go to HR. And focus on finding your community outside of work. It’s nice to look for our Family wherever we are, but not everyone engages with their professional lives the same way. I don’t participate in ANY work-related socializing - DEI affinity groups or otherwise - so, you wouldn’t see me there either.

Because of the stigma we face in the workplace, people are afraid to be visible and discuss said stigma… yeah, I think confronting negative attitudes towards us is tough and will likely end careers. Keeping my head down and mouth shut is how to survive these dark days I guess

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.
