This takes shape in the form of people wanting and expecting the imagery around them to be representative of themselves and how they see the world. In the <strong>LGBTQ+ <\/strong>community, where many have faced discrimination and bias, it\u2019s important to connect through imagery that feels real and avoids using stereotypes as shorthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Visual GPS, an iStock research initiative, 68% of all respondents say it\u2019s important to them that the companies they buy from celebrating the diversity of all kinds and 76% of GenZ and Millennials agree with this statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are four tips to help you authentically represent the <strong>LGBTQ+ <\/strong>community in your advertising and marketing campaigns during Pride Month and throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode [asyncjs] -->\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler) {\n                (function () {\n                    var s = document.createElement(\"script\");\n                    s.async = true;\n                    s.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n                    s.src = 'https:\/\/servedbyadbutler.com\/app.js';\n                    var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n                    n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);\n                }());\n            }<\/script>\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            var AdButler = AdButler || {};\n            AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\n            var abkw = window.abkw || '';\n            var plc428354 = window.plc428354 || 0;\n            document.write('<' + 'div id=\"placement_428354_' + plc428354+ '\"><\/' + 'div>');\n            AdButler.ads.push({\n                handler: function (opt) {\n                    AdButler.register(167788,428354, [300,250], 'placement_428354_' + opt.place, opt);\n                },\n                opt: {\n                    place: plc428354++,\n                    keywords: abkw ,\n                    domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com'\n                }\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\nIntersectional storytelling in LGBTQ+ communities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dominant depiction of LGBTQ+ people in advertising and media is still a young, white and affluent male. LGBTQ+ identities overlap or intersect with every other possible group in an infinite number of ways. To feature LGBTQ+ people authentically, this must be reflected in the images you choose to include in advertising and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Include the LGBTQ+ community in business visuals year-round<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial services brands are vocal participants in Pride Month, and some companies have even launched initiatives aimed at including the transgender population. However, representation of the LGBTQ+ community in marketing and advertising by financial services companies is lacking\u2014and, when they are included, they are most frequently shown in romantic visual stories. While this is a step forward, focusing on one month out of the year doesn&#8217;t capture the full and multi\u2011faceted lives that this community leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Re-picture LGBTQ+ families<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At iStock, as recently as 2018 we began to see customer demand for depictions of LGBTQ+ families.\u00a0 When brands did feature LGBTQ+ families in advertising \u2011 they were typically white, upper-middle-class, traditionally good\u2011looking, cis\u2011gendered men with a baby.\u00a0 Considering the myriad of ways LGBTQAI+ families exist \u2013 these depictions were surprisingly narrow and stifling.\u00a0 Now, however, we\u2019re beginning to see more inclusive representations that portray a more rounded picture of LGBTQAI+ family life \u2011 including single parents, transracial families, blended families, co\u2011parenting, as well as parents of different ages and socio\u2011economic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a time when new family configurations continue to be seen as threatening to certain groups of people in society \u2011 and as governments continue to create barriers to prevent LGBTQ+ families from thriving \u2011 it is important to celebrate the diversity of how our families are formed.\u00a0 And we need to see them reflected in our wider culture and by the businesses we support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Than Love: Beyond Romance for LGBTQ+<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More often than not the media shows the LGBTQ+ community depicted as romantic lovers and nothing more.\u00a0 \u00a0The truth is like all humans they live incredibly full, rich complicated lives both within and outside of their romantic and\/or sexual interests just like everyone else. \u00a0They work, pay bills and spend money.\u00a0 They laugh, cry and have fun with their friends.\u00a0 They drink, they\u2019re sober, they love their biological families and redefine family for themselves.\u00a0 They explore gender performance, they align with their gender assignment at birth, they forgo the gender construct completely, they find love, they opt out of love.\u00a0 They marry, they partner, they opt for non\u2011monogamous relationships they have children, they choose not to have children.\u00a0 They take their kids to school, make dinner and put them to bed and plan family vacations and celebrate holidays.\u00a0\u00a0 Like all of us, their lives go on and on and evolves and thus, should be fully reflected in marketing and advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode [asyncjs] -->\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler) {\n                (function () {\n                    var s = document.createElement(\"script\");\n                    s.async = true;\n                    s.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n                    s.src = 'https:\/\/servedbyadbutler.com\/app.js';\n                    var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n                    n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);\n                }());\n            }<\/script>\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            var AdButler = AdButler || {};\n            AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\n            var abkw = window.abkw || '';\n            var plc376261 = window.plc376261 || 0;\n            document.write('<' + 'div id=\"placement_376261_' + plc376261+ '\"><\/' + 'div>');\n            AdButler.ads.push({\n                handler: function (opt) {\n                    AdButler.register(167788,376261, [300,250], 'placement_376261_' + opt.place, opt);\n                },\n                opt: {\n                    place: plc376261++,\n                    keywords: abkw ,\n                    domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com'\n                }\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this era of inclusion, which has become synonymous with diversity, brands need to show what really matters.
