What steps do you think agencies can take to make you feel safer, seen, and more included?

I know I definitely talk about Queer History so people are more aware of it and I know I'd personally love to see more "theys" in scripts for clients where "theys" aren't even necessarily the target.

I'd also prefer silly questions over assumptions but that only really seems to fly at smaller shops.

Not talking about inclusion just during June lol. It’s a shame because there are a ton of unique points of view on the lower end of the employee totem pole but the C suite is all cis/straight. At least where I am. They don’t even know how to uplift diversity.

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 🏳️‍🌈

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.

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.
