Pride, Prejudice, and Politics

Communicators face a challenging environment this Pride season. While enjoying increasingly diverse representations of LGBTQ people in media, culture, and politics, we are also under unrelenting attack at the legislative level in many states, and many of our most vulnerable are being targeted in schools, religious institutions, libraries, and more. A new generation of LGBTQ youth is both more visible and empowered than ever before—and also the target of these attacks.

How can communicators tell the stories of LGBTQ people in an environment that is so divisive and consumed by misinformation? How do corporate supporters and other allies navigate the increasingly loud and organized backlash that can come with supporting LGBTQ causes? Join a panel of PR and communications experts and advocates to discuss Pride 2024 and beyond.
