It's #Pride Month! Take action for older #LGBTQ+ adults. The problem: "We know that local aging services and supports are critical for the LGBTQ+ community to succeed as they age. However, fear due to a lifetime of discrimination and current lived experiences prevents many LGBTQ+ elders from accessing the care and support they need to thrive." Learn more about what you can do to help. #MondayMotivation https://ed.gr/ehb1o

I love that we support and celebrate inclusiveness and diversity, but honestly, I have to speak from my perspective as a CEO. I often wonder if it's me, the person, or my mindset as a Leader and a CEO. I believe the only time we will be inclusive is when no one has to wave a flag or wear a badge or a wristband. Same for disabilities, ethnicity, or colour. People talk crap even when wanting not to... 'Oh, I don't see colour...' said a mate of mine recently. 'Well, get an eye test, pal; he is as black as the Ace of Spades, ' I replied. Oh no, that's not what I meant said he. Yes, it wasn't, but why do you even have to state that? Why does it need to be said? Just be his mate. I guess what I am trying, and probably failing and inviting a load of snowflakes to pile in, is people are people. When we get to a stage where none of this is a subject matter, that is what I call inclusive. As for diversity, well, God decided that already. What's it got to do with us? There are some things I am well known for by my friends and family. One is that I have absolutely no 'Gay-Dar'. One of my good pals from past work life is now a woman, and considering our personal backgrounds, I find it extremely difficult to get my head around but equally not at all difficult to accept. It's her life; she can do what she likes that makes her happy. I couldn't give a monkey's what she chooses to do; she's still the same person as when I first knew her, apart from the blindingly obvious and having a far less deep voice. I think the longer this need to recognise everyone with their own special symbols and the like, actually the further away we get from where people aspire to be. If someone is Gay, Bi-, Straight whatever, It doesn't occur to me at all, and I am equally not the slightest bit bothered when I become aware of it. What I care about is simple. In work, are you a good colleague, a grafter who is aware that the customer pays us all and values them? In my social life, are you good company, do we share values and interests, or are you really annoying or boring? Those things are the only things that matter, or should matter. When we can take pride in not needing symbols or events like pride flag and month then and only then in my humble opinion do I reckon we have cracked it. Until then though, Happy Pride Month to everyone who feels represented and that it gives them belief they can live happily and openly. I hope I am wrong and that actually it is empowering and breaking down barriers without what I like to call 'Idiots' who haven't got the brains they were born with being like scared rabbits towards anyone who is different from them. Until then, please call out all 'Idiots' instead of looking at your feet or looking away. Failing to discourage, by its very definition, lacks courage, and that's the only difference; people of Pride Month have had to show courage; the least you can do is make that inclusive by showing your own where they do get abused by the Idiots.
Happy Pride Month!🌈 At GovData, we're proud to celebrate the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment. How are you celebrating Pride Month? #pridemonth

🌈 **Celebrating Pride Month: Ensuring Safe and Inclusive Healthcare for All** 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it’s essential to recognize the importance of providing safe, inclusive, and affirming healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. Quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. 🏥 **Why Inclusive Healthcare Matters:** - **Respect and Dignity:** Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. Inclusive healthcare practices ensure that LGBTQ+ individuals feel safe and respected when seeking medical care. - **Understanding Unique Needs:** The LGBTQ+ community may face unique health challenges. Healthcare providers educated in these areas can offer better, more effective care. - **Reducing Disparities:** Inclusive healthcare helps to reduce health disparities that disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ individuals, such as higher rates of mental health issues and certain chronic conditions. 📚 **Key Steps for Healthcare Providers:** - **Education and Training:** Ongoing education about LGBTQ+ health issues and culturally competent care is crucial for all healthcare providers. - **Inclusive Policies:** Implementing non-discrimination policies and ensuring they are enforced helps create a welcoming environment. - **Open Communication:** Encouraging open and honest communication can help patients feel more comfortable discussing their health needs. This Pride Month, let’s commit to making healthcare a safe and inclusive space for everyone. By embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity, we can improve health outcomes and ensure that all individuals receive the quality care they deserve. #PrideMonth #LGBTQHealth #InclusiveHealthcare #SafeCareForAll #HealthcareEquality
We join our employees, physicians, members, and communities in celebrating #PrideMonth and the strength and diversity of our vibrant LGBTQ+ community. We're committed to providing culturally responsive, equitable care, and partnering with LGBTQ+ organizations so everyone thrives.

I utilize digital communications to tell Black & LGBTQ+ rural stories | Speaker | Creator | Writer | Rural Health | Reproductive Justice
“As the studies and surveys cited here demonstrate, #LGBTQ+ people living in #rural communities encounter the same mental healthcare challenges as other rural Americans, but the disparities in accessing resources and appropriate treatment can be even more difficult because of existing prejudices and discrimination. It’s a call to action for rural communities to come together to increase awareness and dispel the stigma experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Some ways communities can help to tackle the disparities include: In rural #healthcare – Educate the workforce, put in place inclusive systems of care, and implement policies that address discrimination. In rural schools – Implement practices and policies to support #LGBTQyouth. In local and state governments – Propose and support laws and public policies that enforce protections against discrimination of LGBTQ+ people.” #RuralHealth
June is Pride Month and we at Rural Minds join individuals and organizations in celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. During #PrideMonth2024, we invite you to access information about the mental healthcare challenges rural LGBTQ+ people face, as well as resources for support: https://bit.ly/3N68ZP9 #RuralMentalHealth #PrideMonth
