Best Practices

• •Champion "By Us, For Us": Consistently use language that reflects the brand's roots within the LGBTQ+ community. Employ inclusive pronouns and terms that resonate with shared experiences.
• •Reflect Lived Realities: Incorporate narratives and scenarios in copy that authentically portray LGBTQ+ life, from moments of self-discovery to the importance of chosen family and varied expressions of pride.
• •Marry Playfulness with Purpose: Maintain a contemporary and sometimes humorous tone (e.g., referencing social media trends) while always connecting back to the core mission of empowerment, self-expression, and community support.
• •Commit to Inclusive Language: Continuously ensure that all copy is respectful and representative of the diverse identities within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Stay informed about evolving language and community preferences.
• •Live Your Values Out Loud: Explicitly communicate the brand's core values (authenticity, inclusivity, community) in key communications and ensure these values underpin all messaging, from product descriptions to social media interactions. Explain the "why" behind the brand, not just the "what."
