Today is the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. The Stonewall riots were led by the most marginalized people in the LGBTQ+ community, including Black and brown trans sex workers. This is why in many cities June is Pride month. When my wife and I visited NYC last month we met up with Edwin Vega, CPCC, PCC at The Stonewall Inn and then went for a walk. I admire how Edwin takes a fierce stand for making coaching a more inclusive and equitable space. He's got a giant heart. If you look at the photo below you'll see it beaming out of his gorgeous smile. A lot has changed in 55 years, and some of the progress we've made on LGBTQ+ rights are being eroded now. We need to take a fierce stand for all of letters, but especially for trans and non-binary youth. What will LGBTQ+ human rights look like 55 years from now, in 2078? Your actions today will impact that future reality. What will you commit to doing, either in your personal life or at work, to ensure trans and non-binary people are safe, included and have equal human rights?

As Pride Month continues, we reflected on a few of the actions that allies can take to create an environment where every LGBTQ+ employee feels respected and valued, inside and outside of work. * Stay Engaged: Read reputable sources like GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and other advocacy organizations that allow you to regularly update your knowledge and stay informed about evolving language and social contexts. * Create Your Environment: Advocate for inclusive policies such as gender-neutral facilities and non-discrimination clauses. Further, promote LGBTQ+ role models and events within organizations, to celebrate diversity and inspire others to embrace inclusive practices. * Build Meaningful Connections: Build relationships by creating a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences without fear of judgment. Further, show up at their events. This demonstrates solidarity and reinforces commitment to standing with their community. * Advocacy and Personal Growth: The role of allies can extend beyond personal and professional interactions. For example, it is important to stay informed about legislative changes and actively support pro-LGBTQ+ initiatives. While these actions may be simple, they all contribute to creating a world where diversity is celebrated and everyone can live authentically. Read the full list here! https://lnkd.in/eMJHMXuC

Pridemonth is a monumental time of the year. It is a time to remember the remarkable equal rights journey the LGBTQ+ community has fought for decades. And it is a month where I personally take some time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country. Pride Month also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and inclusivity in all aspects of our lives. For Corporations world-wide , it’s also a reminder that we need to hit the accelerator on making workplaces welcoming for all, year-round. #StaffWorQs, we firmly believe that businesses play a pivotal role in driving positive societal change and we will be a catalyst to drive such a change as we continue to create diverse and inclusive workplaces and foster innovation. generating tangible benefits for individuals #PrideMonth #PrideCelebration

In today's evolving workplace, company policies play a critical role in ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment for all employees, including those who need it the most: the LGBTQ+ community. "I think policies are essential anti-discrimination safeguards and act as necessary checks on the organizational environment. They also go to great lengths in making LGBTQ+ employees feel safe within the organizational climate." — Aritra Chatterjee, clinical psychologist and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community Here are some companies that have created policies that should be replicated to create a more inclusive office for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Just in time for the end of 🌈 Pride Month, our friends at LGBTQ+ Victory Institute released their 2024 "Out for America" report. It is packed with insightful stats and data visualizations. We're happy to share it while highlighting a few notable findings: • Every state (plus Washington, D.C.) has at least one out LGBTQ+ elected official serving, totaling at least 1,303 LGBTQ+ elected officials nationwide. • Along with the good news, a caveat: At least 38,193 more LGBTQ+ people must be elected to achieve equitable representation. • Of particular interest to our mission: There are currently 235 LGBTQ+ state lawmakers (and only Louisiana, West Virginia and Idaho have no out legislators). Follow LGBTQ+ Victory Institute or go to https://lnkd.in/ehJwd25S to access the full report Of course, we acknowledge we must keep fighting for justice and fairness, but we also welcome this opportunity to celebrate milestones of progress. 🌈 Happy Pride!
