Submitted my bid for a conference in April to see if they'll automatically reject me for 'diverse' being in the title of my proposal.

Scholarship app for my master's funding asked about future doctoral research. My (sleep-deprived, partially BS) answer? "Focused on the impact of geopolitical uncertainty on organizational and diversity management within multinational corporations."

Howdy! My name is Jack and I'm a small business researcher in Florida. I'm trying to finish up my qualitative research thesis in my current degree before gays become completely illegal in FL.
Aside from my thesis work on the management of gay bars, I've also researched paranormal tourism, heritage tourism, and methods of communicating sensitive information in restricted spaces.

One of the people I’m interviewing for my thesis: so once you go off and get that PhD, what are you going to do with your life?
Me: well, after going through all that, hopefully I’m going to end up researching more of this stuff
Them: I think you’re going to end up owning a gay bar

I suppose the pro/con of being a gay business academic currently studying LGBTQ owned businesses is that my work keeps becoming more and more relevant to the concerns of business owners, but I also am becoming less and less valuable to PhD programs.

How it may promote this idea what someone has to wear to be seen in a very specific way.
That if you want to pass, you have to wear tucking panties or shape wear boxers. (Or just the idea that you have to pass in general.)
It’s more obviously a market and product research question, but I am in entrepreneurship, and it’s not out of line to talk about how this might impact the creation of new companies. Such as more authentic products being pushed away.
Back to some actual research posting since it is pride month after all.
I have a lot of conversations with my advisor about the concept of ‘washing’. For me, it’s usually rainbow washing and for him, it’s usually craft washing.
As an interception of these two similar concepts, I’ve been thinking a lot about different ‘transgender’ clothing lines. How these products fit only a narrow view of trans man/trans woman, how they’re largely inaccessible…
Do I…do I make a pride month post on my LinkedIn this year?

As I'm typing up my reading list for my small business management workshop, I'm reminded that I need to get back to posting about my reading list for my thesis. Particularly after the conversation I sparked off today about LGBTQ chambers of commerce. It's not all obscure hospitality research papers. Some of it's obscure LGBTQ tour guide books for Key West.

One of the fun little things I had to do recently was submit a list of objectives for my research. Which in this context meant telling my department what could be the possible industry applications could be for all of this work.
*in a John Mulaney voice*
“I will now share for you these objectives.”

Recently, a friend (a cis gay man who works in hospitality and tourism management) said that it had never really occured to him that there might be a difference between gay bar operations and general bar operations. Which was followed by the question, how much difference do you think there actually is in the two operations modes?
And, reader, I don't know. That's why this is my research.

Them, people generally concerned about my well-being: what do you want to do with your life after grad school?
Me, externally: research into entrepreneurship in LGBTQ communities as a method of creating more inclusive public spaces
Me, internally: spend the rest of my life writing about, creating, and selling business fashion for queer people

Writing inventory control word problems as a means to explain why I despise Winn-Dixie is one of those other tell tale signs that I’m on the right career path.

Creating (yet another!) thread to keep track of choice things I've said items of #LGBTQ pop culture as part of my thesis work.
