Multicultural News – Gay Ad Network
Finally, Some Good News: LGBTQ Inclusion
Gay media has been transformed over the past two decades. The convergence of digital and mobile technologies has aggregated the once-fragmented LGBTQ community into a powerful voice for equality and a loyal consumer market for advertisers. Audience targeting networks, gay dating apps and social media collaborations have become the predominant platforms for accessing LGBTQ consumer markets at scale.
After a decrease in LGBTQ protections and increase in hate crimes over the past four years, the future for LGBTQ equality is now looking brighter than ever. The Biden-Harris transition team has named several LGBTQ people to key White House posts and has an extensive LGBTQ-inclusive agenda. The HRC 2020 Corporate Equality Index reports that 91% of Fortune 500 companies have sexual orientation and gender identity non-discrimination policies in place. Mainstream media also takes center stage influencing broader cultural change in the U.S. as corporations increase LGBTQ inclusivity. This year GLAAD reports the highest percentage of LGBTQ characters on TV shows and movies: Hulu, Netflix and the Hallmark Channel released holiday films featuring LGBTQ couples in leading roles, and Nabisco, Etsy and Starbucks feature same-sex couples in their latest holiday advertising.
Brand preference and loyalty is earned over time, through ongoing outreach and consistent messaging across mainstream and gay media platforms. LGBTQ inclusivity should be an integral part of every brand’s marketing mix during the holiday season, during pride month and every other month of the year. To make your brand more relevant to the LGBTQ consumer market, contact Gay Ad Network.
