How about we need to transform this industry to be more “people-friendly”. LGBTQ+ leaders have to still play the same game as everyone else and won’t be able to make as much change as we want quickly

I couldn’t agree more! It’s almost like there’s some kind of conspiracy… haha, nah… just too many haters in the industry. I hear far too often of stories from fellow LGBTQ+ coworkers being marginalized in their team, derogatory statements under people’s breath, and HR that ignores it.
To accept us into leadership positions is to truly embrace who we are and we are still far from that kind of acceptance.

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.
