When your advocacy team can't agree on global LGBTQ+ messaging

Our human rights team is supposed to be developing a global LGBTQ+ campaign but every meeting turns into people from different regions explaining why the approach won't work in their context. We've been stuck for months because we can't find messaging that doesn't erase someone's reality or put local activists at greater risk.
