In 2014 France passed a Law to legalise same-sex marriage. Last year in the USA many companies boycotted states that did not support the rights of LGBTQ+ communities. And the month of June is now dedicated to advocating for the rights of this community around the world. The aim of this dissertation is to understand to what extent, brands from the food industry can communicate to the LGBTQ+ community and how. Research collected through social media, mostly among 20 – 25-year-old people, both from or not from the LGBTQ+ community provide some interesting results. Authentic communication is the most important factor to consider when communicating inclusively. The members of the LGBTQ+ community would like to be represented in the brands’ communication as it could help ‘normalise’ LGBTQ+ acceptance. However, most non-LGBTQ+ respondents do not understand the need for LGBTQ+ inclusive communication in the food industry. Finally, attention should be made to which gender couples are used in adverts. These findings indicate, a need for brands from the food industry to communicate inclusively by the LGBTQ+ community. And mostly a need for companies to “walk the talk” when it comes to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights Programme : MSc International Marketing & Brand Management Permalink : https://cataloguelibrary.neoma-bs.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=566729
