Subtle promotion of an ideology which conflicts with the country's mainstream values can be achieved by utilizing various methods. LGBTQ+ rights can be promoted in a conservative area by advocating for equality and personal freedom through small acts such as hosting public discussions focused on LGBTQ+ rights, publishing op-eds and informational resources, marching for equality with rainbow flags, attending rallies and protests, volunteering with local organizations that focus on providing resources for the LBGTQ+ community, using social media to share information regarding civil liberty cases regarding the LGBTQ+ community, creating artwork or stories focused on stories involving LBGTQ identities and experiences without being directly overt or mentioning sexual orientation or gender identity. All of these subtle methods can lead to spreading awareness within communities without generating hostility that may arise from more open forms of promotion.

One way to subtly promote LGBTQ+ rights in a conservative area would be to do so through community service. By organizing events and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights within the framework of philanthropy, one can avoid drawing ire from more traditionally-minded locals. Similarly, promoting LGBTQ+ history and literature could be another way of doing this, by highlighting figures and moments in history that are associated with the queer community without singling out or specifically addressing queer individuals. Moreover, it is also important to recognize that such work needs the support of an organized coalition — either already existing groups or individuals who identify with the cause should join forces in order ensure long-term sustainability of these efforts.
