grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Rocket Social Impact's latest State of the Issues snapshot, focused on LGBTQ+ Rights. check out the report for info, tips, and recommended resources – plus you might see a familiar name :) "Remind yourself and your colleagues that LGBTQ+ equality is not about politics; it is about people. Taking steps to ensure that people of all identities and backgrounds are able to feel safe and accepted for who they are should not be political or a bold act of corporate social responsibility – it should be industry standard." 👉 https://lnkd.in/exHtZJDp

Finland 13 most LGBTQ+ friendly country. Spartacus Gay Travel Index is a long-standing ranking of countries’ LGBTQ+ friendliness. The ranking is largely based on legislation, the rights of LGBTQ+ people in each country. In the latest ranking, Finland has risen to 13th place. Behind the rise is the new Transgender Act passed last year, and now, for the first time, Finland is defined as a country that engages in LGBTQ+ inclusive communications in tourism. Our neighbouring country Estonia also made a big rise from 47th to 32nd place thanks to the Marriage Equality Act. Malta tops the list, followed by Canada, New Zealand, Spain and Portugal.

Utilize this resource from Human Rights Campaign as you look for new jobs, or are a company looking to have more inclusive policies in place for your employees. The state you reside in could greatly impact those accessing your company, or choosing to work for you...regardless of what your values may be. I work for a company that not only is spread across the United States, but also is global. I know that I am only going to ever seek positions with them in states that support LGBTQ+ individuals. While our team holds great values that align with what I feel should exist in the workplace; that is not enough when there are states that do not have safe and secure legislature supporting human rights. My job opportunities and positions are limited geographically. What are some ways you can show allyship and support? In the 2024 legislative session, there are currently 406 anti-LGBTQ+ bills being tracked in the U.S. already (source ACLU).
