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

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 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride! Wondering: we have an unique POV in life. Have you used your identity to help land you a gig? How so?

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.

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Hi fellow 🌈 🐠- Looking for a therapist in Toronto. Can be virtual but would prefer to do sessions in person at some point with the same therapist for continuity. Any recos or resources on where to start the search? Bonus if they are LGBTQ or have experience/specialize within that community.
