The United States now has 1,300 LGBTQ+ elected officials, and the number grows every election cycle! However, this number falls short of being representative of the LGBTQ+ community. While 7.6% of adults identify as LGBTQ+, less than 1% of elected officials in the U.S. identify the same. For the government to be fully representative, more than 35,000 LGBTQ+ individuals would need to be elected. Thanks LGBTQ+ Victory Institute, a partner of The Ascend Fund, for nurturing the next generation of LGBTQ+ public leaders and building a strong pipeline for the future. https://bit.ly/3VkxCKE

Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), we celebrate the vibrant LGBTQ+ community and recommit ourselves to creating a world free from discrimination. Did you know? The theme for IDAHOTB 2024 is "No one left behind: Equality, freedom and justice for all." This powerful message reminds us that the fight for equal rights isn't over. We need to ensure every member of the LGBTQ+ community feels included, valued, and protected. Understanding the Terms: Homophobia: Fear/hatred of lesbian, gay, or bisexual people. Transphobia: Fear/hatred of transgender, genderqueer, or non-binary people. Biphobia: Fear/hatred of bisexual people. Be an Ally Who Makes a Difference: Champion Diverse Voices: Share stories and content created by LGBTQ+ individuals. Let their voices be heard! Explore New Narratives: Go beyond mainstream media. Discover LGBTQ+ publications, films, and podcasts for a wider range of experiences. Spark Conversations: When you share content, ask questions and encourage respectful engagement. Let's learn together! Challenge Jokes: We all have a role to play. Kindly address homophobic/transphobic jokes, reminding others of their impact. Educate Your Colleagues: Witness microaggressions? Politely correct them or offer to educate colleagues about respectful behavior. Advocate for Inclusion: Support policies like gender-neutral bathrooms or LGBTQ+ employee resource groups at work. Remember, allyship is a journey, not a destination. Keep learning, keep speaking up, and keep showing up for the LGBTQ+ community in meaningful ways. #LGBTQ+ #Inclusion #Equality #BeAnAlly #IDAHOTB
