Starting a few initiatives inside to make space for queer talent. Some ideas are basic (the group, the Slack channel, having film nights, political activism, etc.), but has anyone seen or done anything they’re super proud of they wouldn’t mind sharing?

I led a panel with four LGBTQ community leaders on how queer-targeting ads are received, and how to make them better.

It was super relevant for the agency, we had great questions & engagement, and before the panel was livestreamed I sent a short quiz to the agency with questions like "what is the most beloved brand by LGBTQ people?" "Who of our clients is highest on the brand favorites list?"

I'd love to do it again!!

This ... is ... not ... sustainable!

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Hi all,

I'm very reserved and when small talk comes up within a group (3-5ppl), I just sit there like a fly on the wall. I don't excuse myself from the zoom call cos I find THAT rude, but if I'm just sitting there and not contributing isn't THAT rude too?

I'm just here to work, talk through how we get things done, GET it done, & clock out. Can we focus pls?

Also, Idrk how to small talk... I've always been the 'therapist' role. Idk how to adult here & others think im uncollaborative / uncommunicative

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

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
