Qualitative researchers must stay curious about the human experience—and staying abreast of the LGBTQIA+ community is a necessary part of that. When we cultivate a space of comfort, we allow all people, and especially people in the queer community, to speak their genuine truths. Today on the Qual Power Blog, Hannah Kaplan, MPH and Pam Goldfarb Liss share 5 ways to help LGBTQIA+ participants feel welcome. Check out their post today: https://lnkd.in/eC66dV5y#qualitativeresearch#QRCA#genderfluidity#GenZ
I have a new book review out in JSEPA on the book Queer Data. This was an excellent book that provided some great guidance for both academics and professionals on how to collect, secure, and think about data for the LGBTQIA+ community. Read for free here:

Spotted: Queering the Map advertisement on 12th Street.
Queering the Map is a community generated counter-mapping platform for digitally archiving LGBTQ2IA+ experience in relation to physical space.
The platform provides an interface to collaboratively record the cartography of queer life—from park benches to the middle of the ocean—in order to preserve our histories and unfolding realities, which continue to be invalidated, contested, and erased. From collective action to stories of coming out, encounters with violence to moments of rapturous love, Queering the Map functions as a living archive of queer life.
Through mapping LGBTQ2IA+ experience in its intersectional permutations, the project works to generate affinities across difference and beyond borders — revealing the ways in which we are intimately connected.
Aditi Gangrade, Co-Founder at Much Much Media discusses the need for authentic queer representation, moving beyond tokenism in LGBTQIA+ allyship, and the importance of inclusive marketing in the advertising industry.

🌈 Celebrating LGBTQIA+ History Month: Embracing Diversity, Honouring Struggles, and Paving the Way for Equity 🌈
As we step into February, let's take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and honour LGBTQIA+ History Month. This month is not just about recognising the triumphs and challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, but also a reminder of the ongoing journey towards a world that values equity, inclusion, and diversity.
🏳️🌈 Did you know that the first LGBTQIA+ rights organisation in the United States, the Society for Human Rights, was founded in Chicago in 1924? It's a testament to the long-standing fight for equality, a struggle that continues to inspire us today.
Let's also shine a light on incredible individuals who have shaped history against all odds. Marsha P. Johnson, a Black transgender activist, played a pivotal role in the Stonewall riots, sparking the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California, paved the way for LGBTQIA+ representation in politics.
These stories remind us of the strength and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community, a community that has fought for basic human rights and continues to strive for a world where everyone can live authentically without fear of discrimination.
However, LGBTQIA+ History Month is not just about the past—it's a call to action for the present and the future. As we celebrate the progress made, we must acknowledge the work that still needs to be done. Challenges persist, from discriminatory laws to societal biases, and it's crucial that we stand together in the pursuit of true equity.
Every month should be an opportunity to champion diversity, elevate unheard voices, and foster a workplace culture that embraces everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
Let's make a commitment to educate ourselves and others, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for policies that promote equality. By doing so, we contribute to creating a world where everyone can thrive, irrespective of who they are or whom they love.
Today, I recommend watching Panti Bliss - The necessity of normalizing queer love. Enjoy.
Let this month be a catalyst for positive change, not just within our workplaces but in society at large. Happy LGBTQIA+ History Month, and here's to a future where love, acceptance, and equality prevail! 🌈💙 #LGBTQIAHistoryMonth#EqualityForAll#InclusionMatters
We often advise brand research & marketing teams to mine the comments posted in response to content shared by queer social media influencers as a source for powerful consumer insights. You can quickly ascertain the mindset of consumers on a particular issue, topic or even category and it's a terrific source for qualitative research (and it's free). The nearly 2K comments shared by LGBTQ+ people in response to inclusive greeting cards at Target is a great example. It demonstrates a hunger for LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion and the power of being seen. From countless comments expressing, "I need this!" to a touching, "If anyone gave me one of these I’d frame it and put it on my wall," these consumers are telling brands about the power of everyday inclusion. https://lnkd.in/eP2jHUii#SeeAll#LGBTQ+ #insights#multiculturalmarketinghttps://lnkd.in/eP2jHUii
