Hello everyone.

So I have recently been working on queries and submissions to find agency representation.

As I’m reading through the bios for agency websites, I’m finding that there are a lot out there putting emphasis on diversity representation and LGBTQ+ representation among their creators.

Although I consider myself to be an ally and overall open-minded person, I am straight white male. I want to be careful about not giving the wrong idea here in that I’m complaining or that I’m in any way saying this is unfair. It is not. I’m simply wondering if it is best to just move along, because I am just not what those particular agencies are looking for? I am willing to take on any project that puts the spotlight on diversity and LGBTQ representation, but I also think that might also come off as patronizing. Thoughts?
