I got a couple but tbh they were very deep in dog-eat-dog mentality so it wasn’t great. I got fired because my gay male managing director put a big mistake he made on me. I was relocated cross country and then dropped 4 months later. All for queer leadership but all leadership needs to be better than what is out there.

Oh wow that’s pretty crazy :/
In my experience, queer leaders have often been resistant to having more than one or two other queer people on their teams (depending on size) to prevent the appearance of cliques. And, because gay men are oversexualized, there’s always the worry of an accusation of harassment or impropriety. This is less than it was 20 years ago, but still there.
The industry also has a paucity of trans/NB people at any level, especially leadership. So, we are really far behind there.
I’ve never worked with anyone queer in a leadership role. I’ve worked with a lot of other queer people though so hopefully we end up in those roles eventually.
The best ECD I ever had was gay. Never worked for a more empathetic and talented guy, and the work was always better because of his leadership.

Love to hear it
None. Not a single openly queer person in 13 years. The closest I’ve gotten is interviewing with some cis white gay men at not great shops. 🙃🙃🙃 I’ve predominantly worked in SF, LA, and NYC.
My EVP is a lesbian! Not my day-to-day leader, but still, I’ll take it. I also have LGBTQIA+ direct reports, which is awesome.
I’ve worked at a couple gaygencies
There are at least 5 lgbtq leaders at my agency! I didn’t realize how important it was for me until it happened and I’ve found it life changing.
