I was just thinking about the "most successful women in advertising" lists and all the ilk of other minority issues. I don't intend this to come across as self-serving, but is there anything like that for LGBTQ? I can't think of one I've seen, and I would LOVE to see that. Thinking back to when I was a Jr AD, I feel like that would have had an immense impact on me.

Start one right now on here! Ask for nominations. Ask Fishbowl to make an official article on their behalf. Head over to the PR bowls. They will love it.

I nominate you on the judging panel.

This is uncharted territory for me too, but I think as long as you get their permission to post their names, then we’re off and running.

From there, we’ll get a writer interested and then pop over to the PR bowl.

We literally have all the resources here to make this happen.

Adweek has their Pride Stars list in June — but that has been all that I’ve seen encompassing Advertising specifically, and they certainly do little promo with it comparatively to their other lists which is a shame (and sort of alarming to me). There are several lists for Queer execs and LGBTQ+ biz leaders across industries, and several specifically for Lesbians/Queer female presenting individuals in tech like the Queer 50 I always see pop up.

I like this. I would worry with such a huge range of identity’s under the umbrella that it would serve some people more than others. Ie myself as a gay, white, cis, male - my experience in advertising is a lot easier and different to say a trans POC.

I understand that concern, but I think giving any kind of attention and credit to the community as a whole is better than nothing. I'd like to say we'd equally represent every nuanced identity, but I know that's easier said than done

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.
