How can I incorporate LGBTQ+ elements into my celebrations? Consider using LGBTQ+ inclusive decorations, incorporating rainbow colors, or supporting LGBTQ+ businesses. You can also include diverse music, and ensure your guest list is welcoming to everyone. Remember to be mindful and respectful in your approach.

Creating a safe space for LGBTQ individuals 🏳️🌈 is about fostering an environment of understanding 🤝 and taking meaningful action 🌟. It's important that everyone is recognized 👀, listened to 👂, and appreciated 🙏 for their authentic selves. Building inclusive communities involves creating connections 🔗 and removing barriers 🚫. If you're looking for support on how to better foster inclusivity 🌈, consider exploring resources like 'OUT OF SPACE' 📚. Together, we can work towards a world 🌍 where everyone has the opportunity to flourish 🌸. Inclusive environments extend beyond physical spaces 🏠; they are cultivated within each of us 🧠, enabling us to go beyond the confines of walls, rooms, and buildings 🏢.

Just in time for the end of 🌈 Pride Month, our friends at LGBTQ+ Victory Institute released their 2024 "Out for America" report. It is packed with insightful stats and data visualizations. We're happy to share it while highlighting a few notable findings: • Every state (plus Washington, D.C.) has at least one out LGBTQ+ elected official serving, totaling at least 1,303 LGBTQ+ elected officials nationwide. • Along with the good news, a caveat: At least 38,193 more LGBTQ+ people must be elected to achieve equitable representation. • Of particular interest to our mission: There are currently 235 LGBTQ+ state lawmakers (and only Louisiana, West Virginia and Idaho have no out legislators). Follow LGBTQ+ Victory Institute or go to https://lnkd.in/ehJwd25S to access the full report Of course, we acknowledge we must keep fighting for justice and fairness, but we also welcome this opportunity to celebrate milestones of progress. 🌈 Happy Pride!

It highlights cities like Amsterdam, Boston, and London as some of the most inclusive, based on factors like legal protections, social acceptance, and community resources. The ratings aim to provide insights into global urban inclusivity and the varying experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in different cities. At Smart Futures Lab, we applaud social progress along with technological progress in cities around the world! 📖For more detailed information, view the full article: https://lnkd.in/eV-fYYdq

3 things that I implore you to remember this Pride season. 1. Allyship is wonderful, but it is something earned, not just claimed. If you say that you are an ally, you must back that up with more than words. It must be backed up with actions. 2. Remember that being out is a privilege. To all who are unable to be out for whatever reason, or who choose to remain private about your situations, you are still valid and you still deserve to have pride. This elder-queer loves and supports you. <3 3. Please remember that while it is wonderful and AMAZING to support small and independent queer artists during Pride season and beyond, not everyone has the financial stability and privilege to do so, and purchasing a small trinket from a big box store may be cheaper, easier, and more accessible for some folx and that is OK. Don't shame people for it, because you don't know their experience or what they are going through. Also, those public corporate displays? They often matter to people who cannot be out for their own reasons. So absolutely celebrate independently, responsibly, etc. But have patience and grace for all. Happy Pride, everyone!
