As we are all still reeling from incidences of LGBTQIA+ violence and anti-trans legislation in many states around the United States, visibility days are more important than ever - for queer kids who are just figuring out who they are, for queer young adults trying to figure out where they fit in the world, and for older queer adults with joyful or cautionary tales of living in a world not created for them. Visibility is the power to tell your story and the ability to see people that look like you taking up space. [Image 1 description: [Background image is a photo taken in a forest. Two female presenting folks stand centered in the photo in an intimate embrace with their backs to the camera. Text above the image states, “April 26th 2024 is Lesbian Visibility Day.” Below this is the Envision:You Instagram handle, “@envisionyouco.”] End description.]

Do queer people experience the world like everyone else who isn't queer? Are their experiences the 'same' as everyone else? Or do they experience life stressors that are more 'unique' in nature? Does the stress of belonging to a minority community also add onto their experiences and perceptions of the world? How does this in turn impact the way they navigate their identities? If you'd like to learn the answers to these questions and more, you can enroll in the 'Queer & Trans Affirmative Care' workshop: 1. Dates: 29.6.24, 30.6.24 (Saturday & Saturday) 2: Time: 6:00-7:30 p.m. (with scheduled breaks) 4. Venue: Google meet 5. Workshop fee: 1,500 INR To register, scan QR code or follow link in comments.

"In the realm of queer relationships, the dynamics of independence and togetherness are often redefined, offering both challenges and opportunities for growth. Navigating these complexities requires a holistic approach that celebrates individuality while fostering a deep sense of connection. As we rewrite the rules of relationships, it's essential to acknowledge the unique pain points and implement effective strategies for success in relationships. Let's explore a comprehensive framework for thriving in queer relationships, embracing autonomy, and nurturing meaningful togetherness, incorporating aspects of lgbt couples counselling." Written by Nimir Raval, Coach and Counsellor

Quick reminder this month... We're seeking queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism. So, is your company in integrity with its actions and messaging? Not only about Pride month, but in how it may be using Juneteenth for profitable gain? I'm, of course, not the first to say these things but can see the message should amplified as I read through my LinkedIn feed this morning. Oof.

Pride is an opportunity to be loud and proud—but what about the rest of the year? Many would like to simply exist, without their identities or expression demanding explanation or comment. In a recent study, we asked 52 Scouts who identify as LGBTQIA+ to share what success for the queer community would look like to them, and we tagged the answers. 𝘐𝘯 𝘢 1-2 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘓𝘎𝘉𝘛𝘘𝘐𝘈+ 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦? The top response was for queerness to be normalized and accepted. A majority of Scouts shared with us that more than anything, what they want is to feel like they can exist in society without this particular aspect of their identify defining or limiting them. We break down different ways to achieve this normalization in the full debrief of our study here 👉 https://bit.ly/3z6eZTi

🌈 Celebrating LGBTQIA+ History Month: Embracing Diversity, Honouring Struggles, and Paving the Way for Equity 🌈 As we step into February, let's take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and honour LGBTQIA+ History Month. This month is not just about recognising the triumphs and challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, but also a reminder of the ongoing journey towards a world that values equity, inclusion, and diversity. 🏳️🌈 Did you know that the first LGBTQIA+ rights organisation in the United States, the Society for Human Rights, was founded in Chicago in 1924? It's a testament to the long-standing fight for equality, a struggle that continues to inspire us today. Let's also shine a light on incredible individuals who have shaped history against all odds. Marsha P. Johnson, a Black transgender activist, played a pivotal role in the Stonewall riots, sparking the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in California, paved the way for LGBTQIA+ representation in politics. These stories remind us of the strength and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community, a community that has fought for basic human rights and continues to strive for a world where everyone can live authentically without fear of discrimination. However, LGBTQIA+ History Month is not just about the past—it's a call to action for the present and the future. As we celebrate the progress made, we must acknowledge the work that still needs to be done. Challenges persist, from discriminatory laws to societal biases, and it's crucial that we stand together in the pursuit of true equity. Every month should be an opportunity to champion diversity, elevate unheard voices, and foster a workplace culture that embraces everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. Let's make a commitment to educate ourselves and others, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for policies that promote equality. By doing so, we contribute to creating a world where everyone can thrive, irrespective of who they are or whom they love. Today, I recommend watching Panti Bliss - The necessity of normalizing queer love. Enjoy. Let this month be a catalyst for positive change, not just within our workplaces but in society at large. Happy LGBTQIA+ History Month, and here's to a future where love, acceptance, and equality prevail! 🌈💙 #LGBTQIAHistoryMonth #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters
