Is your website LGBTQ+ inclusive? Here are four questions you should be asking yourself! 1. Am I using gender-neutral terms in my copy? An effortless approach to this is substituting some gender-specific terms with more inclusive options like "folks," "people," and "partners." 2. Am I integrating LGBTQ+ imagery seamlessly? It's crucial to feature gay or lesbian couples, transgender, and non-binary individuals on your site to highlight the diversity of people who might be exploring your content. 3. Does your newsletter sign up form really need to know if the user is a man or woman? Consider removing it altogether, or even leaving a blank space so users can share what they’re comfortable with. 4. Am I only thinking of the LGBTQ+ community during pride month? Remember that a rainbow logo won’t make your brand more inclusive, but thinking about how to make every user who visits your site feel represented year-round will! Want to talk about how we can make your website more inclusive? Let’s talk!

🌈 Have you heard of rainbow-washing? 🌈 It's Pride Month! 🏳🌈 Which means a lot of wonderful things for individuals, and has also started to mean something for companies. Good intentions can get lost in meaningless gestures, like a single rainbow post or changing the company logo for exactly one month. Rainbow washing is a tactic where brands adopt LGBTQ+ symbols to appear supportive without making genuine commitments. While showing support during Pride Month can boost visibility (and often comes from a good place), true allyship means taking consistent, meaningful action throughout the year. Marketing has the power to make a difference. By striving for authentic representation and inclusivity in every marketing campaign companies can be real allies. 🫶 How do you feel about rainbow-washing? #RainbowWashing #TrueAllyship #InclusiveMarketing

Seventeen percent of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+, more than any other generation. And this has nothing to do with the actual number of people who identify as anything other than cisgender and heterosexual – it has everything to do with feeling safe. Gen Z have grown up in a culture that is more accepting, inclusive and supportive to LGBTQ+ identities than ever before. As a result, more than ever feel empowered to be their true selves proudly and publicly. This inevitably means a generation who are happier, healthier, more empowered, more productive, and are likely to be more successful overall. And this is in a society that still clearly has further to go in terms of acceptance. We still have work to do, but the youth are proof that it’s working. Happy Pride, everyone.

As #PrideMonth comes to a close, we celebrate our colleagues, consultants and clients in the LGBTQ+ community. As an LGBTQ+ owned business, we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued, which is why "belonging" is one of our four core values. During Pride Month, we commit to making sure everyone can be their true selves, which empowers them to do their best work and live their best lives. "Belonging" means more than just including everyone—it’s about making sure everyone feels seen, heard and supported, as our founder notes below: #ABConsulting #consulting #businessconsulting

…Is what companies act like during Pride Month. But being queer isn’t something that exists only once a month. 🌈 Don’t get us wrong, we love companies getting around Pride Month. If you want to make your company logo rainbow this June, go for it! Just as long as you’re putting in the work the other 11 months as well. We run an Over the Rainbow workshop that’s all about creating a safe space for employees to discuss LGBTQ+ issues, share perspectives and ask questions. Our clients use it as a launch pad to get the conversation flowing year-long. Here’s a quick rundown of what we typically cover: •⁠ ⁠Learn all about the LGBTQ+ alphabet •⁠ ⁠How to create safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ employees •⁠ ⁠Unpack topics such as unconscious bias, microaggressions, and allyship •⁠ ⁠Understand the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in society and the workplace •⁠ ⁠Deep dive into SOGIE and LGBTQ+ •⁠ ⁠Lots of games, case studies, memes and discussions They’re usually 1.5-2 hours, but everything is customizable based on your needs.

In marketing, we have something called seasonal content, but should all relevant events be categorized as "seasonal content"? 🌈 As a marketer who champions inclusivity, I've grown weary of seeing Pride reduced to a marketing ploy. 🏳️🌈 This Pride Month, let's go beyond superficial gestures. Don't use this significant time if your commitment to LGBTQ+ rights isn't genuine and consistent year-round. 🌟 It's about making real changes in our companies and communities, ensuring inclusivity every day, not just in June. 🌈 Let's use this month as an opportunity for genuine advocacy and impactful actions. Together, we can build workplaces and communities where everyone feels valued and respected. #pridemonth #marketing #realsupport
