Representation matters
Posted on November 14, 2021 Leave a Comment
It may seem obvious to some, but when I came out 35 years ago, I never saw relationships like mine the way we see them now in advertising, television, film, and books. It continues to be a thrill for me to see same-sex couples in media. Having the LGBTQ+ experience normalized in the media is important and affirming in ways that may be hard for some to understand. My writing today was triggered by two things – a recent Out Magazine article about LGBTQ celebrities, and an LGBTQ romance series I just finished. This post reflects on what I am seeing and experiencing now as a result.

Even though I’m not technically on the hook for tripnotes for #AR2020, I’ve enjoyed having a more relaxed approach to capturing some of the key messages coming out of this event. I hope you like this rough cut of the material … and please check out the Rosenfeld Media website for all the official content.

This week I came across a new LGBTQ+ themed Starbucks commercial that aired in Europe. It moved me, and I hope it will do the same for you. #deadnaming

In this post, I celebrate @merriam-webster’s Word of the Year, and reflect on some important trends for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies as awareness of They / Them pronouns continues to grow.
