The civic engine underneath the entire LGBTQ+ marketplace. In 2024, LGBT voters hit a record 8% of the electorate — roughly 12 million votes, moving 86–12, growing every cycle. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the LGBTQ+ electorate, with the precision politics demands. A focused, two-fold approach built for campaigns, advocacy organizations, and civic brands.
The Opportunity
There are a variety of ways in which we can reach the LGBTQ+ electorate — from movement professionals and reliable voter-donors to the crisis-activated, Gen Z's digital organizers, the ally electorate, and the quiet supporters in hostile geographies. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on Politics, Activism & Law. Our campaigns are two-fold — and, in this market, built with the precision politics demands.
First, we focus on getting your message out to a hyper-targeted, voter-file-integrated LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more — layering politically active LGBTQ+ audiences (built from every major voter data provider) onto community inventory, with granularity down to the state legislative district and swing-state CTV. Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts and community-organization amplification — because in this market, endorsements from community organizations and out leaders outperform generic political messaging.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.
Our Campaign Framework
A comprehensive strategy that reaches the LGBTQ+ electorate through voter-file-integrated advertising channels AND organic social & community-organization amplification — simultaneously.
We focus on getting your message out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ electorate online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more.
Our political stack integrates every major voter data provider — L2, TargetSmart, i360, Tunnl, Aristotle — layering politically active LGBTQ+ audiences onto community inventory, and forecasting, targeting, and reporting by state legislative district, congressional district, state, DMA, ZIP, or hyperlocal radius.
For advanced placements, we utilize swing-state Connected TV (CTV) with ACR technology — with the DAA's Political Ad Icon and disclosure standards built in.
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your behalf — amplifying your advocacy messages, calls to action, and civic education within LGBTQ+ politics & activism communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — plus the community-organization validation and out-leader endorsements that outperform generic political messaging.
From the convening calendar (Creating Change, lobby days, fall dinners) to the whole coalition — community, ally electorate, and the registration gap — we help you show up where it counts, plus #ILoveGay Today interviews with advocates and leaders.
The LGBTQ+ Electorate
A record 8% of the 2024 electorate, moving 86–12, concentrated in the young cohorts campaigns fight hardest to turn out — and reachable, district by district, through the community's own channels.

The LGBTQ+ Vote by the Numbers
A snapshot from the LGBTQ+ Politics & Activism Market Guide — a cohesive, motivated, growing electorate that decides margins.
LGBT voters hit the highest share ever recorded — roughly 12 million votes, larger than every modern presidential margin.
One of the most cohesive blocs in the electorate — highly unified, highly motivated, and growing every cycle.
A record nationwide (Victory Institute) — and still a fraction of proportional representation; the gap is the pitch.
Of non-LGBTQ Americans (GLAAD) — the ally electorate is the majority, and the persuadable universe campaigns target.
