The social media industry is filled with talented 2SLGBTQ+ influencers from diverse backgrounds who, each day, put their stories out there for the world to see. Whether they’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, two-spirited, or queer, their talent knows no bounds, and it’s important to celebrate the diversity and positivity they bring to social media.
When it comes to influencer marketing, many brands still overlook the talent, presence, and following of queer influencers. But as social media continues to expand and the power of influencers becomes harder and harder to ignore, audiences are craving diverse influencers they can see themselves reflected in.
