Tidbit for your Day | We are inspired by innovative entrepreneurs like Matthieu Jost, who transformed a personal experience into a solution (misterb&b) that fosters a more inclusive community for the LGBTQ+ population. "We want people to be able to connect within the community and have safe experiences. We verify all of our users. We also deliver and implement tools to help people connect who are not present on mainstream platforms. For example, you can find places to stay in the gay district of a city. We have a filter for moods. If you’re talkative, you can find a talkative host. If you prefer not to chat, you can find a more introverted host. There’s also a filter for sharing interests with the hosts. About 65% of our users are solo travelers—we’re really in the business of fighting loneliness. We’re building community. It can be isolating to be LGBTQ+."

🗣️ Progress is being made but we cannot leave anyone behind. Our latest State of the Industry Report showed that there are shortfalls in representation of several groups including the LGBTIQ+ community. Getty Images’ proprietary data found that from the visuals downloaded in 2020, less than 1% include people with LGBTQ+ identities. Not sure how to start making a difference? Tools like our proprietary 3Ps Framework can prompt an intersectional lens for teams to create progressive content and positive portrayals. 🏳🌈 🏳️⚧️ Building on the momentum of #Pride month join us in working towards a future free from stereotypes Check out the report in the comments ⬇️
