Besides the starting point of The Amazing Race season 36 being Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (which couldn’t be gayer, if you ask us!), this season also includes two out LGBTQ+ couples in the cast, making us feel even more seen, heard, and represented in reality TV.
And in the process of giving millennials what they want, Mildenhall oversees some of the most inclusive, diversity-focused work to be found in modern marketing. Just look at Airbnb’s 2016 LGBT Pride campaign.... "This is the first LGBT campaign I know of that features a diversity of religion, race and gender identity," he says. "We’ve got a transgender man, a black queer woman and a gay Muslim guy who believes in an Islam that welcomes everybody.... "The LGBT community travels more and we over-index in terms of LGBT hosts, so each June we shine a light on Pride. But this really powerful work isn’t designed to sell a night or get another home on the platform. It just inspires our community about the human values that we believe in."
