🌈 Reflecting on the activism of the 50s and 60s, we recognize nearly two decades of dedication, marked by blood, sweat, tears, and immense courage. These efforts have brought us to the buds and sprouts of progress we see today, but our journey is far from over! ↳ These 20 years have significantly raised awareness of LGBTQIA+ struggles, culminating in the Stonewall Riots in San Francisco, 1969. A moment, driven by the patrons of the Stonewall Inn, boldly declared "enough is enough" against systemic wrongdoings and normalized injustices. ↳ Looking back, it's crucial to remember the collective strength we hold as a community, society, and humanity to enact change. We have a responsibility to stand firm against false voices and ensure the representation and validation of marginalized groups. 📚 Learn more about meaningful historical moments featured in the accounts of PQE Group leaders Gilda D'Incerti, Danilo Neri, Luisa Cabria, Thomas Carganico #LGBTQIA #Community #Activism #Representation #PQEGroup

why even open this can of worms - 7.2% identify as lgbt, 86% as straight. so why do we talk about it 86% of the time? how does business cater to lgbt when it would seem the most profitable to do the exact opposite? why have at&t & wells fargo and anheiser busch nd proctor and gamble and walt disney and and and given millions each to this lobbyist organization. how much have they given to the VA or the tunnels to towers orgs? why are they giving anything to any of those groups - isnt the sole purpose of a publicly held corporation to maximize profits? are the people at bud light still employed after the dylan mulveany fiasco. of course not - they were fired. this doesnt make sense anymore folks & i certainly am not advocating an aggressive position - i just don't understand the math. how many calendar recognition days do veterans & the military get? - you know the guys that defended & continue to defend our freedoms from some ill intended folk. to each his own is fine. keep it that way would be best in my opinion. this calendar is ridiculous. https://lnkd.in/e4kmWWcE

Quote posting this because my reply on the misleading post, sharing what JKR actually said has been deleted by the author 😃 (as are atleast 2 other civil replies from people who had a different viewpoint!) The image in the post is misleading because JKR didn't say 'she won't forgive...for trans rights support'. Her actual words are far more specific and convey a different meaning (see screenshot of JKR's reply to a follower in comments). The follower's tweet was in context of a recent review of gender care, commissioned by UK's NHS, by Dr.Cass, which highlighted, among other things, the lack of evidence on the safety and long term effects of puberty blockers on minors. The review was initiated after whistleblowers at gender clinics raised concerns. Beyond this topic, what also concerns me is this trend of condemnation while repelling a nuanced civil discourse on a contentious subject. In this case, a complex and sensitive one too. Such subjects require a genuine interest in truth and test our lymbic reactions to something that doesn't confirm to our beliefs. The associated point is how easily we can be misled by social media. [Disclaimer: I am not an expert on the topic of gender but have been curious about it, and open to be challenged. If you are interested, would strongly recommend listening to the 7 episode Podcast 'The Tavistock: Inside the gender clinic'. It covers the complexity of the subject in a very nuanced & sensitive manner without compromising on critical thinking. I heard it on Apple podcasts and is available here too: https://lnkd.in/g-btwime]

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we revisit our resource, "Tackling Homophobia in Sport." Launched in 2021, in partnership with Fare network . The resource covers essential terminologies, facts, and issues related to queer rights. It also highlights the prevalence of homophobia in football and other sports, and the need to tackle it together. You can read the same here: https://lnkd.in/g_9DFaBF

Such policy changes are not done without coordination or in a vacuum — stand with your colleagues and ask administrators and legislators “why?”. If the answer is based in personal or ideological perspective instead of valuing the essence of inherent human difference and diversity, then you have your answer. These laws will have one effect: promoting sociopolitical and financial austerity where the oppressor is always right. Resistance is inherent and should be expected. To my DEI colleagues, truly embrace those principles and make legislators and leaders uncomfortable. #dei #policy #policynetworks
