It’s more important than ever for allies to actively give their support to LGBTQ+ communities. @HumanRightsWatch recently announced a national state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans. They also have some really useful information about which U.S. states are protecting–and which are encroaching on–the rights of LGBTQ+ people, plus ways that you can support the community. You can check out their work here: https://lnkd.in/eUtfM-hS Recently, @TheManagementCenter sent out a piece detailing ways that leaders and managers, in particular, can use their positions and skills to support LGBTQ+ staff. It starts with making inclusion explicit and transparent, by acknowledging what’s happening and creating queer- and trans-inclusive policies and practices. These are important tips for managers to have, as state and local governments work to undermine long-fought-for LGBTQ+ rights. https://lnkd.in/eSZpkmJU (Image from @yyananran on unsplash.com.) #pride #lgbtq #lgbtqia #ally #trans #transrights #lgbtqrights #lgbtqiaally #lgbtqiasupport #employeesupport #leadership

👉 Tolerance is not enough. It's not a value. LGBTQ+ Allies, avoid saying: "I support the LGBTQ+ community, but..." Allies, steer clear of statements like: - I do not agree with people changing their gender - I think "all these" different gender identities are a bit much - I do not want their lifestyle to be shoved down my throat - Why do gay people need a parade? - It does not help their cause when they act so feminine - I think they should be more discrete 👉 Acceptance is understanding that we do not have to agree with how people express their own understanding of who they are. Acceptance is being curious about how we can continue to grow and connect with people that are different from us. HAPPY PRIDE, COPENHAGEN!!! #LGBTQ #Acceptance #Diversity

“Some straight, cisgender people think of themselves as allies to the LGBTQ+ community, maybe even going so far as to self-designate as such through signage in their workspace or on their personal effects.But do LGBTQ+ individuals actually perceive them to be allies? To answer this question, the authors completed a four-year project to investigate how LGBTQ+ individuals determine whether someone is an ally. They conducted six studies, including thousands of LGBTQ+-identified participants across the U.S., to understand the causes and effects of allyship. Based on their findings, they present three ways to be a good ally to your LGBTQ+ colleagues — and not just perform allyship” https://lnkd.in/gv3TUY4D  #pride #LGBTQ+ #allyship
