It’s Pride month. Let the pride washing commence. Companies that have never spoken about, shared, took a stance on, or took action on LGBTQ+ rights will now be donning the old rainbow flag to cash in on pride month, and tick a diversity box. Even companies that support politicians and parties with poor LGBTQ+ records will throw on a rainbow to get in on the action. We see you. We don’t need “awareness”, everyone’s heard of us. We need action. Here’s an easy win - start publishing how much of your pride month profits you’re donating. #lgbtq #pride #pridewashing

Throughout Pride month, rainbow-washing is everywhere you look, from retailers to politicians to corporations that typically have nothing to do with LGBTQ+ rights. Corporations or political entities use rainbow-washing, otherwise known as pinkwashing, to promote LGBTQ-friendliness in an attempt to downplay or soften negative aspects. If you support the LGBTQ-community you can’t be that bad, right? Wrong. Pride is not performative. And Pride is not a marketing tactic. Read on to learn more about how to take your organization from rainbow-washing to true allyship. #PrideMonth #RainbowWashing #DiversityEquityInclusion #LGBTQ+ #Allyship

🌈💼 Why does celebrating Pride matter in the workplace? Because, when done authentically, it creates a truly inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable and confident being themselves. At Oaklin, a core facet of our culture is that our team can bring their whole selves to work, and Pride is pivotal in nurturing this culture. Pride serves as an opportunity to honour the LGBTQ+ community and to educate our business on the true meaning of Pride and the value found in celebrating it. That is why our Pride events this year were centred around education. These were: 🍕 A Pride Social, where our team came together for an LGBTQ+ themed quiz, a LOT of pizza, and a chance to connect and donate to an LGBTQ+ charity. 💭A Pride Lunch, where we discussed Pride's history and impact, all while acknowledging the progress that is yet to be made. 🎙️A series of communications offering film, TV, and book recommendations, as well as being a platform for our colleagues to share their personal stories. How did you celebrate Pride? #pride #pride2024 #inclusive #bringyourselftowork #celebratingLGBTQ+

🌈 Pride Month: More Than Just a Rainbow Logo 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's heartening to see companies show their support with vibrant rainbow logos. But the LGBTQ+ community needs more than just symbols of solidarity—we need tangible actions and investments that truly make a difference. Visibility is important, but real support goes beyond a colorful logo. It involves: Investing in LGBTQ+ communities: Supporting initiatives that provide education, healthcare, housing, and employment opportunities. Implementing equal access company policies: Ensuring all families, faiths, and gender identities are respected and supported within the workplace. This includes comprehensive non-discrimination policies, inclusive benefits, and safe spaces for everyone. Ensuring corporate donations align with values: Avoiding contributions to special interests and politicians who oppose LGBTQ+ rights. Let’s advocate for meaningful change and hold our companies accountable. It's time for corporate allies to step up and make a real impact. Together, we can create a world where everyone is celebrated and supported every day of the year. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈#PrideMonth #LGBTQSupport #CorporateResponsibility #InvestInCommunities

🌈 Pride Month is almost here, and it’s a powerful reminder that Pride is not just a celebration, but also a protest. 🌈 Things are not looking great. While some countries made some positive steps towards LGBTQ+ inclusion, the UK continues to fall behind. As a queer femme, I am appalled and outraged by the continuous mistreatment of trans and non-binary people. Looking at hate crime stats but also day to day discrimination things are dire. While we, as workplaces and companies, get our rainbow flags out and prepare for the pride parades we attend, let's not forget to look inward. What do you do for your LGBTQ+ employees and customers all year around? Do you have learning initiatives that go deeper then just a glossy allyship session? Do you have policies and more importantly a culture that rejects all forms of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia? And lastly, how do you know? Working with over 90 clients in the past few years has showed me that most organisations do not have adequate feedback loops and monitoring iniatives. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Advocacy #Diversity #Inclusion #ImpactCulture #DEI #workplaceculture
🌈 Pride Month is almost here, and while we prepare to celebrate, it’s crucial to remember that Pride is not only a celebration but also a protest. 🌈 At Impact Culture, we are committed to highlighting the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community around the world. As part of this commitment, we will be releasing Country Snapshots over the next month, starting with the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in the UK and Germany. 🎥 Check out our latest video on the state of LGBTQ+ rights in the UK. Despite progress in the previous decade, the UK has recently dropped to 15th place in ILGA-Europe’s rankings, highlighting the need for continued advocacy and action. We want to hear from you! What countries would you like to see featured in our upcoming snapshots? Let us know in the comments below. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #ImpactCulture #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion

Helping business owners bring their brand to life | Marketing + Brand Strategy Specialist | Founder of KENNEDY Studio | Co-Chair of the Board for Euphoria Social
It's World Pride Month....and sorry adding a rainbow to your product is not Allyship - it's marketing. While it's wonderful to see rainbows everywhere, it's important to remember that true allyship goes beyond adding a rainbow to your product or website. Allyship means: ❤️ Listening and Learning: Taking the time to understand the experiences and challenges of the LGBTQ+ community. 💜 Supporting and Empowering: Amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, supporting LGBTQ+ businesses, and advocating for equal rights. 💙 Creating Inclusive Environments: Ensuring your workplace and products are genuinely inclusive and safe for everyone, not just during Pride Month but all year round. 💛 Taking Action: Donating to LGBTQ+ causes, participating in events, and pushing for policies that support the community. Adding a rainbow to your product can be a symbol of support, but without meaningful action, it risks being seen as just another marketing tactic. Let's make this World Pride Month not just about visible support, but about real, impactful allyship. Together, we can make a difference. #worlpridemonth #LGBTQplusallyship #inclusiveworkplace #realsupport
