Absolutely. Never hide. And if you have to, just like we all felt the need to move to cities that would accept us and celebrate us, move agencies.

A few know a few don’t. I don’t hide it anymore so depends on the relationship and if they are asking about my weekend.

No.

I work in a political space, so yes. It comes up often. In previous roles, I think if they didn't know it was purposeful ignorance based on how I presented myself.

I’m curious, would anyone happen to have advice on convincing your client *not* to celebrate pride? Our customer base is roughly 95% highly conservative, super-masculine bla bla bla, and we’re all pretty confident it won’t sit well. It’s unfortunate, but as a gay man myself I can say I wouldn’t be impressed as our brand has nothing to do with anyone in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, and I can only imagine our work being bombarded with hateful comments, which isn’t what anyone wants to encounter online

I am an advertising professor studying how people’s identities shape their experiences in advertising. I am interested in interviewing LGBTQ+ folks to learn whether and how your identity shapes your experiences and perspectives on advertising and the work you create and produce. If you’re willing to chat, email me at kwindels at UFL dot edu.

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.

Watching the season premiere of Queer Eye and Karamo just said, “I don’t see any queer literature in here,” expressing his frustration towards the gay priest’s personal bookshelves.

Sigh. Are LGBTQ+ expected to have books about being LGBTQ+ now?

Am I wrong for having a problem with this mindset and the expectations of one not being “queer” enough?
