At Bueno Law, we celebrate Pride Month by honoring our LGBTQ+ clients the best way we know how: by winning their cases and helping them start a new life. ❤️ #thequeerlawfirm

That’s how you do it.

Ally is a verb. Being an ally means actively learning, advocating, and speaking up for your LGBTQ+ loved ones. It's never too late to be an active ally! To start or continue being an ally, check out our resources at: pflag.org/find-resources

ALLY IS A VERB People often hate very loudly so we need to make our love louder. I have a pin on my lanyard at work and a plaque in my office that denotes a safe space for someone’s full identity. Some people don’t understand why, they think it’s perfomative. But it’s not. Working in suicide prevention for 9 years I’ve met so many people personally and professionally who are in crisis as a result of feeling unsafe sharing who they are . Some of them we’ve lost to suicide before they let anyone know they we’re struggling. If you’d like more info on actively supporting the LGBTQIA2S in your community please check out PFLAG’s website. Let this be your reminder to love loudly. Let your love be as random as the hate. “You are a cute couple” “I love seeing how much joy is in your family “ “My pronouns are she/her what are yours” It’s intervening when you hear discriminatory comments around you. It’s about becoming the educator to ignorance because as a heterosexual cisgender woman it’s safer for me to stand up and confront hatred than a person whose identity is under attack . I’d rather a million uncomfortable conversations that I “ don’t have the energy for “ or “ isn’t aimed at you so why do you care so much “ than have someone suffer in silence due to unnecessary and often uneducated opinions rooted in fear of “the other.” I have quite a few people in my circle that I’ve had the honour and privilege to be stand in family for , and while the need makes me sad , I’m happy to expand my family because love doesn’t cost me anything. It’s gained me amazing people in my life. If you want help finding some support or resources your community shoot me a message or a comment and I’ll do my best to find you support in your community. You aren’t alone in this. Wherever you are in your journey please be assured that there are people that do love you for who you are and we are so grateful you are in our lives. #lgbtqinclusion #allyship #loveislove #foundfamily #creatingbettertogether #communityempowerment #suicideprevention #mentalwellbeing #allyisaverb #advocacy #calltoaction

Pride Month reminds us of the beauty of diversity. Pride is not just a month—it's a lifelong commitment to equality and justice for all. Pride is more than a celebration; it's a call to action. It's an invitation to join a movement that seeks to build a more inclusive and equitable world. Participate in local events, support LGBTQ+ organizations, and educate ourselves and others. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to a larger wave of change. At Accenture, we know that #PrideMeansMore when we come together. Pride means more love, allies and innovation.  Comment below on what #Pride means to you. https://accntu.re/4c29HX2
