Closet homophobes are actually pretty common in advertising and always giving us a hard time… bullying and always downplaying my work/ideas. I’m struggling with that myself right now, so I feel your pain!

Win them over by being your fabulous self. I’ve found more progress with others that are homophobic by living my life as if there is zero to be concerned about from others, and actually going out of my way to invite them to things and include them as if their views don’t exist. As it is refused, I just keep doing it. Kill them with love and consideration.

I've managed to successfully change people's negative opinions by just being myself and them slowly realizing their predisposed ideas of what lgbt people are was wrong. its a very positive experience for them to come around and for you to be the catalyst for change simply by existing as any decent person should. i find it very rewarding for everyone

really sorry to hear they left before you had a chance to offer someone a life lesson

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?

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.

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.
