In this episode, the folks at Together Equal and I chat and take a deep dive into LGBTQ+ representation in marketing and media. We explore under-represented groups, balancing profit with social good, and how we, as consumers, can drive change. Finally, we tackle pink-washing, celebrate diversity wins, and define what makes a true LGBTQIA+ ally. Andrew Milne, Sarah Aird-Mash Pink Media https://lnkd.in/eKynVPBc

Representation does matter.

What major questions should LGBTQ+ students make sure to ask during their college research? Of course, the answer varies for everyone! Here is my comprehensive list of over 45 important questions to ask. After some purposeful discussion, your teen can narrow it down to their top 4-6 most urgent questions and focus on those. #lgbtq #lgbtqstudents #collegesearch #collegeadmission

I continue my personal/professional journey of education and action planning for Fall 2023 by focusing the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to be a better leader / participant at future employer-sponsored DEI ERGs (employee resource group) and the LGBTQ+ Parent Affinity Group at my daughter's school. I'm starting local and hope to support nationally in the future. For my third stop on my educational journey, I read "The Deviant's War: The Homosexual vs. The United States of America" by Eric Cervini. This book takes you on beautiful and thoughtful journey through the complex struggle for gay liberation in the 1960s by illustrating the tireless work one of our champions, Frank Kameny. Bravo, Eric, for writing this opus. "And that is that."

As we journey through June, we are proud to celebrate both Pride Month and Juneteenth, two significant observances that remind us of the power of love, equality, and freedom. Pride Month is a time to honor the LGBTQ+ community, their history, struggles, and the ongoing fight for equal rights. It's a celebration of love, identity, and the vibrant diversity that enriches our world. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in 1865. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and contributions of Black communities and the enduring quest for racial equality. At XponentL we have built an inclusive environment where everyone is celebrated for who they are. We believe that the individual voices of our employees meld into our collective strength, regardless of class, faith, gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. We play positive sum games with positive sum people. We thus strongly reject discrimination…a zero-sum power play if there ever was one. Happy Pride Month and Juneteenth! Let’s all get better together. #PrideMonth #Juneteenth #UnityInDiversity #EqualityForAll
