For International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we wanted to shine a light on the fact that one in five (19%) of LGBTQ+ young adults experience bullying in the workplace, and a quarter of them said they went 'back in the closet' when they started work, according to a report from Just Like Us.   We have previously discussed the phenomenon of LGBTQ+ employees feeling they had to go 'back in the closet' (which you can read about here: https://lnkd.in/dxskEi-4), and believe that this issue captures why building a culture with a foundation of inclusion and belonging is so important.   #lgbtq #inclusion #dei #culture

This month we celebrated #PrideMonth, a time to honour the LGBTQ+ community's history and resilience. But let's go beyond the rainbow and delve into the history that fuels our fight for equality. The Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ activism, were sparked by a courageous stand against police harassment. This ignited a movement for equal rights and acceptance, and continues to inspire us today. However, Pride is about more than just celebrating identity. It's about creating a truly inclusive environment. But how do we do that? a. Educate yourself: Learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology and experiences. b. Challenge bias: Be mindful of unconscious biases and create a safe space for open conversations. c. Advocate for equality: Support LGBTQ+ rights and initiatives within your company and community. d. Be an ally. Speak up against discrimination and promote inclusivity. Let's celebrate the progress made and continue working towards a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to be their authentic selves; not just during Pride month but all year round. #happypridemonth #pride #lgbtq #lgbtq+ #loveislove #inclusionforall #stonewall #fridayfeeling
