Things we rarely see or hear about in mainstream media. White Boy Summer memes targeting the LGBT community for violence seem to be particularly common. More amplification of voices, issues and genuine true-to-life moments that relate to more people in the LGBTQIA+ community.

People rarely will take the step to learn more than what's posted in a few slides. Social media has become a center point of discourse, which is great, but it is limiting perceptions of brands' genuine intentions.The "we" being culture at large, and the visibility of LGBTQIA+ people within that:
