🌍 Happy International Pronouns Day! 🌈 Today, we reflect on the importance of using correct pronouns, a small yet powerful way to show respect and build a more inclusive society. 🌟 From non-binary and genderqueer to transgender individuals, respecting someone’s pronouns affirms their identity and promotes equity. Pronouns are essential in creating spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard. By embracing gender inclusivity, we take a crucial step toward reducing discrimination and fostering a more compassionate world🌍 Let’s normalize asking for pronouns and ensure that we’re all doing our part to make workplaces, schools, and communities more welcoming. 🤝 #InternationalPronounsDay #PronounsMatter #GenderInclusivity #LGBTQIA #DiversityAndInclusion #GLADFoundation

Katyayini Saksham explains why the current ban on conversion therapy isn’t enough. 🏳⚧💔 Even though it’s illegal, there’s no proper enforcement, so harmful practices continue in secret.

On this 25th Bi Visibility Day, we reflect on 25 years of raising awareness and supporting bisexual and biromantic individuals. 🏳️🌈 This day serves as a reminder to challenge biphobia and erasure while celebrating the contributions of the bi community. Let’s work together towards creating inclusive spaces where everyone can feel seen and valued, regardless of their identity. 🌈 #GLADFoundation #BiVisibilityDay #BisexualAwareness #Inclusivity #LGBTQCommunity #DiversityAndInclusion

We recognize that bisexuality is not a singular experience but intersects with various identities like race, gender, disability, and economic status. These intersections shape the unique challenges faced by bisexual individuals. This Bisexual Awareness Week, let’s break down these barriers, celebrate diversity, and commit to a more inclusive future for all. 💖💜💙 #Intersectionality #DiversityAndInclusion #GLADFoundation #LGBTQAdvocacy

At GLAD Foundation, we strive to create an inclusive world by dispelling myths and misconceptions about bisexuality. Bisexuality is a legitimate and diverse identity, not a phase or confusion. By educating ourselves and others, we can help create a more accepting and understanding environment for all. Let's challenge these stereotypes together this Bisexual Awareness Week. 🌈 #DiversityAndInclusion #GLADFoundation #LGBTQEducation #MythBusting
