As an LGBTQIA+ ally, your role is pivotal in fostering a world where everyone is free to be their authentic selves without fear of judgment or discrimination. It's not just about displaying a rainbow flag; it's about standing up against inequality, amplifying marginalized voices, and challenging the status quo. To be a true ally means educating yourself on the diverse experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community, listening with empathy, and acknowledging that the fight for equality is ongoing. It involves being a visible supporter, not only during Pride Month but every day, and using your privilege to create safe spaces for those who may not have the same privilege. Allyship is an active commitment to dismantling stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and advocating for policy changes that ensure equal rights for all. It's about celebrating love in all its forms, irrespective of gender identity or sexual orientation. Challenge your own biases, engage in uncomfortable conversations, and be willing to learn and grow. Remember, being an ally is not always about grand gestures; sometimes, it's the small, consistent actions that make the most significant impact. From using inclusive language to sharing educational resources, every effort contributes to a more inclusive and compassionate society. In a world that often perpetuates division, let's be the bridge builders, the advocates for change, and the champions of love. Together, let's create a future where everyone, regardless of who they are or whom they love, can live authentically and without fear. 🌈❤️ #LGBTQIAAlly #InclusivityMatters #StandUpForLove Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gg_Za58Q #lgbtq #lgbt #gay #pride #loveislove #queer #lesbian #love #instagay #gaypride #bisexual #transgender #trans #gayboy #lgbtqia #lgbtpride #nonbinary #pridemonth #gayman #dragqueen #bi #gaylove #gaymen #gaylife #equality #lgbtcommunity #lovewins #inclusion #diversity #drag

Your professional experience is impressive, but we can only offer you an administrative assistant, case intake associate, or program coordinator position. These responses indirectly imply that they cannot offer the same Senior Director or above role that I had before my transition. This is the typical feedback I receive when attending job fairs or supplier events, even from companies with a 100% HRC Corporate Equality Index (CEI) rating and rainbow flags. Finding employment in the public, private, or nonprofit sector as a member of the LGBTQ+ community can be challenging. The difficulty increases if you are a queer, trans person of color with disabilities and a veteran. Having faced these challenges, I decided to take action rather than just complain, creating ripples of change. For the first time, I am working with the Workforce Development Board, Human Service Agency, and Diversity Collective—a local nonprofit in our county—to organize a Pride job fair. At this event, employers will be educated on understanding the correct pronouns, authentic names, and gender markers. I will also offer continuous education to ensure retention even after hiring.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly one in ten LGBTQ+ individuals faced unemployment, compared to one in twenty non-LGBTQ+ individuals. However, during the pandemic, the situation worsened: 22% of LGBTQ+ adults and 24% of LGBTQ+ adults of color experienced unemployment. These disparities highlight the need for continued efforts to create inclusive workplaces and address economic inequities within the LGBTQ+ community.

We've made significant strides in addressing gender parity in the workplace, but there's always more to be done. The 2023 World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report (surveying 146 countries) revealed that only 3 in 10 senior leadership roles were filled by women despite them making up close to 42% of the workforce.

Important event in two weeks, from Power to Fly. #Disability in the #workplace is a hugely important issue. What's concerning is the lack of open inclusion for #invisible #disabilities--the #neurodivergent being grossly underrepresented. If this is a new concept to you, this is a good place to start. If you're familiar with it, this is a good place to become more familiar. If you're ND, this is a good place to network and connect. https://lnkd.in/gMf7wq7W

Some good and bad news in this interview.

As an out trans healthcare worker, I want to highlight one of the questions asked in this post: “How do you contribute to ensuring your community is one that makes being visible worth it?” In healthcare we often tell patients the more they feel comfortable sharing, the better care we can provide for them. How are you actively shaping your practice to make sure visibility is safe and worthwhile to your patients? Investigate the questions you ask and the language you use. How do you use the information? What messages are you indirectly communicating? This #transdayofvisibility and beyond, ask yourself how you can support your trans patients and colleagues. Being visible creates community, discovery, and understanding - but it can also be exhausting when your identity is called to the front of all that you do. Being visibly trans often comes with the expectation to educate - including our care providers. When we educate ourselves, we allow our trans colleagues to focus on their jobs and our patients to receive care.

African American men Overall, our evidence suggests that the IT job market is harshest on African American men, who experienced significantly lower rates of receiving job offers after being interviewed compared to White men and Asian men. This effect did not hold for any other underrepresented group and does suggest that there may be systemic bias at work here as, all else equal, African American men were offered jobs at the lowest rate after interviewing for an IT job. We did not find any effects regarding the added effects of graduate education for African American men — either positive or negative relative to the reference groups. #africanamerican #blackmen #blacksintech

One step at a time, takes you towards the goal. A step has to be taken in the direction of the goal to begin with. The RISE job fair by Pride Circle is a great opportunity for the organizations who wish to step up in their DEI journey and make their workplace LGBT+ inclusive.
