What does it mean to be accepted when everyone wants a piece of your wallet? This Pride Month, we're sitting down to chat about our cultural identities and how they shape our understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community. We dive into the complexities of language and pronouns, and share powerful personal stories of coming out and the role of allies in embracing these experiences. Our amazing editor, Sean, who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community, joins us as we critique the impact of consumerism and merchandising on queer individuals. Together, we explore ways to rebrand products to better reflect diverse identities and discuss the importance of queer representation in advertising. Plus, we have a bit of fun playing our game 'Could this be Gay?' and sharing our own Pride experiences. We also touch on the need for more inclusive marketing towards the gay women community and the power of visibility for the next generation of queer individuals. Get ready for an open, honest, and engaging conversation that explores the beauty of our diverse cultural identities and the importance of celebrating Pride Month. Let's get proud together!
