🚨 ALERT 🚨 LGBTQ+ RIGHTS IN THE UNITED STATES IN ALARMING DECLINE. For the second year in a row, the average state score on the Out Leadership State LGBTQ+ Business Climate Index has dropped. For the third year running, more states in the union have become more unfriendly to the LGBTQ+ community. States are becoming increasingly polarized. While a handful of states have become ever-stronger safe havens for equality, in many states the situation is deteriorating.

🌈 Reflecting on the past 11 years, I’ve been inspired by ILGA-Europe’s Rainbow Europe Index, which has been a vital measure of LGBTQ+ rights across the continent. A decade ago, I was incredibly proud to see the UK leading the charge, holding the number one spot for inclusivity. It was a time filled with hope and progress - but also then with vicious backlash especially regarding trans rights. However, in recent years, Malta has taken the lead, becoming a new beacon of hope and leadership in LGBTQ+ rights. This shift reminds me that legal, societal, and cultural change can happen swiftly and unfortunately can disappear just as quickly. I wish I could say I am not scared, scared for my trans and non-binary siblings, scared for all of us. I am, these are scary times, not just in the UK but across numerous countries. I am trying to root myself in optimism and also rediscovered strength to fight for an inclusive and equitable environment for us all.🌟 #LGBTQ #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity #LGBTQRights #RainbowEurope #ImpactCulture
🌈 Do you know who the top 10 European countries are for LGBTQ+ people? Over the past 11 years, ILGA-Europe’s Rainbow Europe Index has been a crucial barometer of LGBTQ+ rights across the continent. A decade ago, the UK was a trailblazer, proudly holding the number one spot, leading the charge for inclusivity and equality. However, as you can see the UK has dropped completely from the top 10, with Malta holding the top position in recent years. This shift reminds us that legal, societal, and cultural change can happen quickly - unfortunately, both ways. With determination and collective effort, we can create inclusive and supportive environments for all. But it also serves as a stark reminder that progress is fragile. The UK’s slip in the rankings illustrates how swiftly gains can be lost if we become complacent. Now, more than ever, we need to come together, protect our hard-won rights, and ensure that inclusivity and acceptance continue to thrive. Let us be inspired by the progress in Malta and beyond. Let us work together to ensure that every country can be a safe and welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community. Join us in the fight for an inclusive and equitable society. Together, we can make a difference. 🌟 #LGBTQ #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity #LGBTQRights #RainbowEurope #ImpactCulture #pride #pridemonth

Research and Project Manager working at a global financial services professional body. Specialising in research, planning and implementation of strategic projects.
This is such an important topic, and very close to my heart. The LGBTQ+ community can often have quite different financial needs, and it's so important that planners and advisers understand and acknowledge this when supporting their clients. A really excellent article! #pride #lgbt #lgbtq #financialplanning #finance #CISI #queer

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

The Importance of Clothing Choices for LGBTQ youth. Why are they so important? (Vlog series 5 of 6) Clothing and Choices One of the biggest ways we can support our LGBTQ youth is by giving them choices. This means allowing them to choose the clothes they want to wear, even if it's not what we would choose for them. It also means taking them to stores that offer gender-neutral or gender-inclusive clothing options. When we give our kids choices, we empower them and show them that we trust and respect their decision-making skills. #lgbtqcommunity #lgbtqpride #Pride #loveislove #apparelhasnogender #protecttransrights #ProtectTransYouth #lgbtqyouthh #parentingtips #kidsclothing #freetobeme #allkidsplus #kidsapparel #makingadifference

Feedback about my LGBTQ+/ Gender Identity Awareness & Inclusion Training Workshop to the education industry: "Welcoming and well explained. Understanding of my ignorance and the wish to gain knowledge and try to change. Platform to have honest conversations/ a safe place in which to explore this complex area." #lgbt #lgtbq #genderidentity #transgender #trans #genderidentitytraining
