Understanding LGBTQ+ Estate Planning Needs 🏳️🌈 The LGBTQ+ community often faces unique challenges in estate planning. This Pride Month, educate yourself on how to create a plan that reflects your identity and protects your rights. #EstatePlanning #LGBTQ #Pride2024

Reminder: Pride is a movement and not just a celebration. There is still a lot of work for queer community to do to make the world a better place for all of our queer and trans community. #PrideMonth #StonewallRiots #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityCommunity #BlackAndDisabled #DisabilityPride #LGBTQ+ #Accessibility . . .

Why Pride Matters: Historical Significance: Commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ rights. Progress and Achievements: Marriage equity, increased visibility, and expanded legal protections. Ongoing Challenges: Discrimination, violence, and legal persecution persist worldwide. How We Can Contribute: Educate: Learn and share the history and current issues of the LGBTQ+ community. Advocate: Support policies and initiatives that promote equity. Inclusivity: Foster accepting and respectful environments in all spaces. Pride is not just a celebration, but a call to action.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 This month, let’s celebrate the love, acceptance, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. From the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, to the legalization of same-sex marriage in many countries, the progress made over the decades is truly inspiring. We've seen significant strides in LGBTQ+ representation in media, politics, and various industries, highlighting the importance of visibility and acceptance. However, there is still much work to be done. Discrimination, violence, and unequal rights continue to affect many in the LGBTQ+ community. We must address issues like transgender rights, workplace discrimination, and healthcare access to ensure that everyone can live freely and authentically. Acceptance and tolerance are key to building a more inclusive world where everyone feels safe and valued. Let's keep pushing for equality and creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all. #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #LGBTQ+

Why Estate Planning Matters for LGBTQ+ Individuals 🏳️🌈 Estate planning is vital in ensuring your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected. Learn how to address the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face. #PrideMonth #EstatePlanning #LGBTQ

We are stepping into LGBT+ History Month 2024, and this years' theme is Medicine - #UnderTheScope 🩺 This theme celebrates the contributions of LGBTQ+ people to medicine over the years. The LGBTQ+ community has been and continues to be an important part of the workplace in healthcare and beyond - this is a month to recognise that and raise the voices of LGBTQ+ people with lived experience. This is so important now when hate crime and hate speech (particularly towards the trans community) is on the rise 💛 Here's a blog post (that spans industries) from Pride Month that highlights some of the reasons that employers should hire trans/non-binary people: https://lnkd.in/d6Pj5A3j ✨ #lgbthistorymonth #lgbtq #inclusiverecruitment

17/30🌈 Building a culture of visibility will help you to unlock the potential of your role models and allies. 💡Proud to present another compelling #underrepresented voice from our Seeing is Believing #research report, developed in collaboration with Citi. “I wish others would feel more comfortable being senior role models. I get the sense that the reasons that stop them are- a) they see it as a distraction from their professional achievements, b) don't want to be seen to be making a 'fuss,’ and c) do not appreciate the value that their being out gives to those more junior people in the organisation”.

🌈 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
