Read about the findings of our State of the LGBTQ+ Music Industry Professional Survey in Billboard. Celebrate Pride by listening to the voices of your fellow music industry professionals. https://lnkd.in/eU_hG-aB
With an unprecedented number of openly LGBTQ+ artists making waves in the music industry, a casual observer could argue that representation in the business has reached a new high. But according to workers within it, representation is still severely lacking. In a new survey published by Queer Capita, in partnership with Billboard and The Orchard, nearly half of LGBTQ+ music industry respondents revealed that they felt insufficiently represented within the industry. The State of the LGBTQ+ Music Industry Professional Survey gathered responses from nearly 300 LGBTQ+-identifying professionals within the music business. Check out details of the survey below.
