Advertising Age published a prideful perspective that opened as follows:
National Coming Out Day—How To Support LGBTQ+ Employees At Your Company
Too much talent is still locked in the closet
National Coming Out Day is Oct. 11, providing another opportunity for companies to publicly support the LGBTQ+ community—at least for a day. But like Pride in June, once the recognition period is over, all of the activity, energy and social posts go back in the corporate closet until next year. Even for companies, being out of the closet is easier when there’s safety in numbers.
Okay, but National Coming Out Day will receive far more attention from Adland and White advertising agencies than Native Americans, Latinxs and Blacks combined. Systemic racism is not coming out of the corporate closet any day—or anytime—soon.
