Companies That Grow With Pride
Being LGBT friendly is not just good for a company’s image but it grows their business manifold, too. Many businesses are now seeing the light and in turn earning the goodwill of the communities they operate in.
It’s a symbiotic relationship that communities and markets enjoy. One cannot afford to remain oblivious to the other, while change passes it by. More and more companies world over are realizing this and just as the LGBT movement gains traction in most countries, companies strive to portray a more inclusive face to appeal not just to the LGBT community but its allies too.

The power of the visual medium cannot be overemphasized. And when that power is put to good use to tell a compelling story; the effect creates ripples which are felt for years and disrupts the existing status quo to birth something newer and better.

And what’s more! Your consumers view your brand in all new, softer light too.
MNCs world over are gradually changing mindsets with their LGBT+ advertising. Changing the way people view the concept of ‘family’ or the moment of coming out to your friends and parents. The idea that make up is for anyone or that gay doesn’t necessarily mean panso and ultra-feminine.
Coca-Cola even goes a step further and tries to dissolve other gender stereotypes. They are making ‘stay-at-home dads’, ‘working moms’ and ‘older mothers’ more acceptable among school children.

In effect, it is trying to ease these children into acknowledging differences as normal occurrences; so that they needn’t grow up looking down on any.

What might seem like a few seconds of annoying ad-breaks are soft instruments. Subconsciously, they alter the fabric of society as we view it today. Thread by thread; a warp and weft at a time, these global citizens are building a newer, more beautiful, more accepting and a more inclusive tapestry of the society we live in.
