It's #NonbinaryAwarenessWeek! Learn more about the #Nonbinary flag! With a quartet of horizontal stripes of yellow, white, purple, and black, the nonbinary flag was conceptualized by Kye Rowan in 2014. The yellow stripe represents those whose genders do not exist within the binary. White and purple correspond to people identifying with all or many genders and those who may consider themselves a mix of female and male. Lastly, the black stripe accounts for those who identify as having no gender. Brush up on the flags of our LGBTIQ communities here: https://lnkd.in/e_TNfX4J

Over the last few days, Hurricane Beryl has caused catastrophic damage in the Caribbean. Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Barbados have been the most affected. Donate now to help us reach our immediate $20,000 pledge of support! https://lnkd.in/gVvmyzH8 While it is too early to tell the full extent of the damage in each of the affected islands, we know that countless members of our LGBTIQ family are already turning to Outright International and our partners in the region for food, water, shelter, building supplies, and care. Climate-related disasters, like Hurricane Beryl, tend to magnify the existing inequalities that LGBTIQ people face, with many experiencing limited or no access to vital emergency relief. That is why we invite you to join us in providing vital resources today.
