🌈 It's International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. Let's stand together and continue to educate ourselves on how we can best support the LGBTQ+ community, and work towards a world free from discrimination and prejudice. As part of our commitment, we asked university students, "How can brands better support the LGBTQ+ community". These insights underscore the significant role brands play in advocating for and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Let’s take these insights to heart and continue to strive for inclusivity and equality in all that we do. 🧡 #IDAHOBIT2024

Great article featuring #kentstate and the director of LGBTQ student programs and support, Ken Ditlevson. As a Kent State alum, I can speak to the importance of and the critical need for Queer Campus Centers, recalling countless times while completing my undergraduate and first graduate program how the LGBTQ Center helped support housing needs, groceries, and more. I am forever grateful. Campus programs like these are essential to the growth and success of queer students on campuses nationwide, especially for those who may have grown up on the streets, in the system, or in homes where it was dangerous or unacceptable to be oneself. (More than 40% of American youth living on the streets today are LGBTQ. “1With up to 40% of the 4.2 million youth experiencing homelessness identifying as LGBTQ+ while only 9.5% of the U.S. population, LGBTQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cisgender peers” (Morton et. al., 2018). In laymens, 40% of American homeless youth determined that the streets of Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, etc. were safer than their homes. LGBTQ college students face unique challenges and barriers and this can put them at greater risk for mental health struggles that can lead to crisis, making them more vulnerable to self-harm, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, symptoms of depression and anxiety, sleep disturbances, and more, and all of which lead to higher rates of academic drops and incompletes. #Mentalhealthmatters and advocating for and protecting the mental health of #LGBTQ college students is a commitment everyone in #academia are responsible for making. LGBTQ programming on #collegecampuses are lifelines and eliminating them speaks volumes about the true nature of and climate on any campus that does not work to #protect, #promote, and #preserve critical programming that serve’s #marginalizedstudentpopulations. Morton, M.H., Dworsky, A., Matjasko, J.L., Curry, S.R., Schlueter, D., Chávez, R. & Farrell, A.F. (in press). Prevalence and correlates of youth homelessness in the United States.

Did you know that today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, & Biphobia? Nicknamed "IDAHOBIT," this day has more significance now than ever. The theme this year is: No one left behind. Equality, Freedom, and Justice for All. This important day traces its roots back to May 17, 1990, when the World Health Organization (WHO) declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. (Can't believe how not long ago that was...). This led to the creation of the day in 2004 to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ rights and advocate for the marginalized. As most of us are aware, our community has certainly progressed, but we still face significant challenges. The recent rise in anti-trans legislation and tighter grip around freedom in schools are some of the many ways that our community continues to feel isolated, blamed, and misunderstood. This is why the work that we all do is SO important. It goes beyond the duties of a normal job. In fact, some of you may even feel emotionally fatigued, perpetually climbing uphill in a society that tells us that our community is a burden, not a value. A lot of you have been doing this work for a long time and may feel disheartened from time to time. That is okay. It is not our job to be unaffected. However, it is our job to continue to hold each other tightly in community. When we all focus our collective strength for progress, we see truly incredible changes take place. We've seen it before with Stonewall, The Matthew Shepard Act, Marriage Equality in the U.S., or through the string of recently elected Queer individuals all across the U.S. Our community is stronger, bigger, and capable of more than ever before. Please don't give up. And remember, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." No one can be left behind in this movement. ❤️ 🏳️🌈
Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), and everyday let’s remember and advance this essential truth. No matter what country we call home, LGBTQ+ people deserve equal rights and the ability to live safely, freely, and as their authentic selves. Full stop. #IDAHOBIT

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia—an opportunity for us all to renew and deepen our commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ people around the globe. Here at Out & Equal, we are proud to support the LGBTQ+ community in the United States and around the world. Through our global work, which includes the United States, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, we help multinational companies build more inclusive workplaces and cultures of belonging. These partnerships have been endlessly rewarding—making space for the cross-cultural dialogue and problem-solving we need to protect LGBTQ+ rights and advance LGBTQ+ equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace and beyond. As we know, this work is increasingly vital. In the last few years, countries such as Uganda, Iraq, and Russia have made it a crime for LGBTQ+ individuals to live and love openly. Meanwhile, the progress the LGBTQ+ community has made in other countries is under threat, as anti-LGBTQ+ violence continues to rise. No matter what country we call home, LGBTQ+ people deserve equal rights and the ability to live safely, freely, and as their authentic self. Full stop. So, let us continue to stand strong and united against homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia—no matter where it happens in the world. Today, tomorrow, and every day moving forward. #IDAHOBIT #BusinessOfBelonging
