Stand with us against hate and discrimination! Today, on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, let's raise awareness about the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ and gender-non-conforming individuals. Did you know individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ are more likely to experience housing instability and discrimination? Research has shown that those who identify as/or questioning LGBTQ+ have a 120% higher risk of experiencing some form of homelessness. Let's work together to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all! #IDAHOTB #StandAgainstHate #LGBTQ+

The TUC conducted a research study with the aim to delve into the authentic experiences of LGBTQ+ at work.

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: Reflecting on Progress and Recognising the Work Ahead 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, let's acknowledge the strides we've made and the challenges that remain for LGBTQ+ people. People identifying as LGBTQ+ highlight the work still to be done to protect their rights and identities. Some of the key challenges that persist are:  👎🏾 Conversion Therapy Ban: The UK government promised this in 2018, and we're still waiting for the ban to be passed. 🏳️⚧️ Trans & Non-Binary Inclusion: Significant barriers remain in healthcare, employment, and social acceptance. We need inclusive policies and practices.  ⚖️Equal Access to IVF: LGBTQ+ families deserve equitable access to fertility treatments. 🛂Treatment of LGBTQ+ Migrants: LGBTQ+ migrants face discrimination and violence. We must advocate for humane, inclusive policies. 🦺General Safety: Hate crimes remain a concern. Let's create a world where everyone can live authentically and safely. We offer Pride and LGBTQ+ Inclusion workshops highlighting what organisations and colleagues can do to support LGBTQ+ staff.

Pew Research Center has been tracking Americans’ attitudes toward same-sex marriage, gender identity, and other LGBTQ+ issues for more than a decade. In that time, they have also conducted in-depth explorations of the experiences of LGBTQ+ and transgender and nonbinary Americans. As we celebrate Pride month, here are five key findings about LGBTQ+ Americans from recent surveys: 👉 Growing Acceptance. 👉 Visibility and Awareness. 👉 Challenges Persist. 👉Generational Differences. 👉Community and Identity. Understanding these findings helps us appreciate the progress made and the work still needed to ensure equality and acceptance for all. Let's use this Pride month as an opportunity to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and support the LGBTQ+ community.

Yesterday we shared our latest research report looking at alcohol use and harm in LGBTQ+ communities, the largest and most comprehensive survey of the attitudes to drinking of the UK’s LGBTQ+ communities. One key finding was that LGBTQ+ adults are disproportionately affected by negative impacts from the drinking behaviour of others, including more severe negative impacts such as sexual harm and physical threats. Understanding these disparities can inform targeted prevention efforts and support services aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm not only among LGBTQ+ individuals but also in addressing the broader societal factors contributing to these disparities.

Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we reflect on the progress we've made and the challenges we continue to face. Despite the strides towards equality, violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community are alarmingly on the rise. I believe it is our collective responsibility to create safe and inclusive environments for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The fight against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia is not just a struggle for the LGBTQ+ community, but a fight for human rights, dignity, and respect. On this day, let’s reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where love, acceptance, and equality prevail. Let’s support initiatives that protect LGBTQ+ rights and ensure that every individual can live authentically without fear. Together, we can make a difference. 🌍❤️ #IDAHOBIT #LGBTQ #Equality #HumanRights #Diversity #Inclusion #Leadership
