As Pride Month comes to a close, we reflect on the importance of inclusivity and solidarity.🌈✨ At Ringer Sciences, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community in celebrating diversity, equality, and love. This month, we dove deeper into the #CorporatePride conversation, from how the Fortune 100 marked the occasion, with 47% of companies participating, to social media discussions of brand involvement in Pride Month celebrations. From logo changes to charitable initiatives, brands showed their support in various impactful ways. Concurrently, consumer discussions highlighted the significance of brand involvement in Pride Month celebrations, focusing on the authenticity of support, the impact of donations, and community engagement. Let's continue to champion diversity and equality every day. #RingerSciences #PrideMonth #Inclusion #LGTBQ #RainbowCapitalism #F100

Happy Pride Month! We are allies. 🌈 Here are 5 ways to celebrate Pride Month: 1. Educate yourself Learn all about the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, its history, and its challenges. 2. Donate Give back to the LGBTQIA+ community by donating to an affiliated nonprofit in your area. 3. Increase LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the workplace If your workplace does not have a culture that promotes LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, speak to your manager about ways the company can be more inclusive to this community. 4. Watch a documentary on the Stonewall Riots Learn how it all began by watching an informative documentary on the Stonewall Riots and the events that preceded and followed them, like “Stonewall Forever” or “Stonewall Uprising”. 5. Be supportive If someone you know is LGBTQIA+, be supportive as they pursue their journey. #pridemonth #LGBTQIA+ #loveislove #metabolichealth #obesitymedicine #obesity #ally Courtney Younglove, M.D., FOMA, FACOG, DABOM Maribeth Orr, D.O., DABFM, DABOM Maren Ozier Here is more about Pride Month from The National Council for Mental Well Being 👇 https://lnkd.in/eNmtJ-4M

Some thoughts I have about #PrideMonth this year and how organizations can support the LGBTQ+ members of key audiences.
At Slide Nine, we embrace diversity and inclusion not just as seasonal observances, but as pillars of our work culture. We proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just during Pride Month but every day. Through our unique philanthropy initiative, we empower our team members to make a difference by providing each with $1,000 to donate to causes of their choice that promote a safer, more equitable world. #HappyPride #Community #DEI

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate diversity, and inclusivity, as well as highlight the ongoing fight for equal rights and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. We are proud to stand with and support the incredible work of Mermaids, a charity close to our hearts. Mermaids is dedicated to supporting transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families. We believe that embracing and empowering all members of the trans community is crucial for any organisation, regardless of the industry. This is why we are honoured to fund Mermaids’ local group activities, which create a safe space to celebrate and uplift the community. Jo and the Thornicroft family have felt the benefit of the amazing work of this charity first-hand. The care they have provided, and their unwavering support have been a huge help and immeasurable comfort in such a turbulent and troubled time. We strive to support them, as they have us, in the hope they will be able to continue their important work and care for other families just like ours. Mermaids also helps businesses to improve their support of LGBTQ+ employees and customers through essential resources and CPD-accredited training. If you're interested in learning more about Mermaids' training courses and how to foster a more inclusive environment within your organisation, check out the link here: Training - Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk) #Mermaids #PrideMonth #Community #Inclusivity #Equality

Helping women and LGBTQ+ founders and organisations look good while being inclusive and accessible | Founder @ Studio Lutalica | Fractional Creative Director | British Creative Businesswoman of the Year 2023-24
🌈 I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month 😮💨 I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated — and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. 💔 It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. 💪 We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. 👉 Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ✨ Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think. Do you feel the same?

📣 This is a BIG one folks - we need your help! Today we’re launching a major fundraising campaign to support pro-bono design services for feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations! 🌈✨ In today’s climate, it’s crucial for these organisations to have a strong brand and accessible online presence. Our goal is to provide these essential tools to those who need them most but can’t afford them. Your support can make a real difference. By donating, you’re helping us amplify the voices of those fighting for equality and justice. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world.

As allies, advocates, philanthropists and corporations celebrate #Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ month, it’s important to lift up the intersectional nature of the #LGBTQ community. Queer people are not only Black, brown, white, AANHPI, Gen Z, old, wealthy, or under resourced. Millions of LGBTQ people also live with disabilities (both visible and invisible) — and instead of overlooking disabled people, let’s make an effort to elevate and equalize by: 1) Donating to organizations that work within the community 2) Intentionally including disabled people in your Pride marketing campaigns 3) Centering disabled queer voices in your messaging this month…and all year long. #DEI / #ESG / #Media / #ERG / #Marketing folks: If you are looking for a great grassroots organization to support and partner with, check out Arkansas Support Network (ASN). It’s an amazing non-profit in the mid-South empowering close to a thousand people in the disabled community with the ability to make decisions and direct their lives — including those who are LGBTQ 🏳️🌈. Their work is making a difference on a local, regional, and national level. If you want more info on the org, would like to become a partner, or make a Pride donation that will truly make a difference, connect with ASN CEO, Dr. Syard Evans. (Also an acclaimed speaker on disability inclusion…you’ll be glad you invited her to your corporate or policy event).

Is this a little late to post for Trans Day of Visibility back in March? Maybe. But it’s not too late for Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 In honor of celebrating the LGBTQ+ community this month, I wanted to share this powerful piece of work I got a chance to be apart of for MAC Cosmetics! MAC has been a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, donating millions of dollars to support equality, providing gender-affirming care through beauty services and products, and being a safe space for queer individuals to explore and express themselves. To help MAC announce their newest VIVA GLAM grantee and partner, The Trevor Project, we created this beautiful video that highlighted the role makeup plays in self-discovery and identity expression. 💋Career Learning: I served as the Director of Scripts on and off set, where I helped craft the conversation to feel informative, authentic, and inspirational. It was important that the narrative not only checked the legal and marketing boxes, but that it ultimately centered trans joy rather than struggle. I learned that to tell an authentic story, you have to leave room for the talent or subject to actually tell theirs and not over-produce it. 💋LGBTQ+ Ally Learning: As an ally, I try to constantly listen and learn to best support the community. To be honest, it got difficult on set at times. Emotions were high as we covered difficult self-discovery moments and discussed overcoming very hard and very real obstacles. I learned that even when there’s a job to do, humanity comes first. Give space for your talent to feel and process as they’re telling their story. A few extra breaks and words of encouragement can go a long way. Super grateful for this experience and proud to have been apart of a team that values good storytelling, good production, and good causes ❤️💄 (Shoutout to the MAC Mustache crew who I won’t tag for the sake of post length 🥲) Check out the video here: https://lnkd.in/eP67G3Jp #beauty #maccosmetics #trevorproject #transvisibility #pridemonth #copywriter

Faerfield is proud to celebrate Pride 2024. Supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community is more than just changing your company logo. It’s about actions and commitments that make a difference – here are just a few that you can do to get involved. 🌈 Attend Pride celebrations: most cities in the UK have their own Pride celebrations between May and September. Head along – they’re a lot of fun. 🌈 Allyship: be vocal about your support – use inclusive language, challenge stereotypes and stand up against discrimination. 🌈 Volunteer or donate: you can also contribute to LGBTQ+ charities and organisations, either through donating financially or your time. 🌈 Self-education: learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology & issues; about the challenges faced by the community and about the progress that has been made. Keep an eye on the Faerfield page for more information on how we’re celebrating Pride this year. However you’re celebrating, we hope you have a fantastic time. #faerfield #equality #lgbtq+ #recruitment #inclusive #pride

Has Pride Month boiled down to just another Marketing opportunity? Let’s address the elephant in the room As we reach Pride Month every year I see Rainbow Logos and pride flags by every brand And I'm sure it's gonna be the same this June. But what’s happening in reality is pure BS → Rainbow Washing: Slapping a rainbow on your logo for June But doing zilch for LGBTQ+ rights for 11 months. → Tokenism: Featuring LGBTQ+ people only during Pride Month, And then vanishing them from campaigns. → Merchandise Mania: Selling Pride-themed products Without donating a dime to LGBTQ+ causes. But at least they’re talking about it na? It’s a start! Um… no it’s not :) Brands talk about LGBTQ+ rights But have discriminatory policies and leaders. This leads to bad branding Because of lack of trust and authenticity. So before going all rainbow crazy in June Try these 3 things out: 3/ 365 days of Support ↳Commit to Queer rights & representation all year. ↳Actions speak louder than your rainbow logos. 2/ Genuine Allyship ↳Support queer employees & communities ↳with real policies & donations, not colorful products. 1/ Be Transparent ↳Be clear about where your Pride Merch profits go ↳Donate to relevant charities and make it public. Brands, it's time to walk the walk. Pride isn’t just a month; it's a movement. 🌈💪 P.S.: Have you ever been to a pride parade?

Absolutely loved reading this on the real issues with Pride🌈Month marketing. It's refreshing to see someone call out the superficial rainbow washing that happens every June. Here are a few highlights that really resonated with me: Rainbow Washing: Just slapping a rainbow on your logo for June doesn’t cut it. True support means backing LGBTQ+ rights all year round, not just for one month. Tokenism: Featuring LGBTQ+ individuals only during Pride Month and then forgetting about them for the rest of the year is not genuine representation. We need consistent inclusion. Merchandise Mania: Selling Pride-themed products without contributing to LGBTQ+ causes is missing the point. It’s about support, not sales. So what can brands do instead? 365 Days of Support: Commit to queer rights and representation throughout the year. Actions speak louder than logos. Genuine Allyship: Support queer employees and communities with real policies and donations, not just colorful products. Transparency: Be clear about where your Pride merch profits go. Make sure donations to relevant charities are public. It's time for brands to walk the walk. Pride isn’t just a month; it's a movement. 🌈💪 P.S. Have you ever been to a pride parade? It's an incredible experience and a true celebration of diversity and inclusion! #pride #pridemonth #marketing #digitalmarketing #brands #merchandise #LGBTQ
