🌈 Embracing Diversity: Celebrating International Coming Out Day 🏳️🌈 Dear LinkedIn Community, Today, we stand together to celebrate International Coming Out Day, a day dedicated to promoting acceptance, understanding, and support for LGBTQ+ individuals. As professionals and allies, it's crucial that we recognize and embrace the diverse tapestry of humanity that makes our global workplace vibrant and strong. In the workplace, diversity isn't just about ethnicity, gender, or age; it also encompasses sexual orientation and gender identity. It's about creating a space where every individual feels safe, valued, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. Coming out can be a deeply personal and sometimes challenging journey. Many LGBTQ+ individuals face discrimination, bias, and fear. As a community, we must be allies, creating an inclusive environment that ensures nobody has to hide who they are or whom they love. Let us remember that diverse teams are more innovative, creative, and ultimately more successful. When people can be themselves, they can focus on their work, their passions, and their contributions to the world. On this International Coming Out Day, let us pledge to: Foster Inclusivity: Create a workplace where everyone feels safe and supported, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Listen and Learn: Be open to conversations about LGBTQ+ experiences, challenges, and victories. Understanding is the first step towards true allyship. Challenge Stereotypes: Challenge stereotypes and biases whenever and wherever you encounter them. Use your platform to educate and advocate. Be Visible Allies: Stand proudly alongside LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends, and family members, demonstrating our commitment to their well-being and success. Celebrate Diversity: Recognize that embracing diversity enriches our professional lives and makes our global community stronger. By working together, we can create a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace that empowers everyone to reach their full potential. Let's stand in unity and ensure that International Coming Out Day serves as a reminder of our shared commitment to inclusivity and acceptance. Together, we can build a world where everyone is free to be their authentic selves, in the workplace and beyond. #InternationalComingOutDay #DiversityandInclusion #Inclusivity #LGBTQ+ #Allyship 🏳️🌈
🌈 Today, on International Coming Out Day, Maas-Riva B.V. proudly stands with the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️🌈 We believe that every individual deserves respect, support, and the freedom to be their authentic selves. 🌟 Happy International Coming Out Day from Maas-Riva B.V.! 🌈 #ComingOutDay #DiversityandInclusion #MaasRivaBV

May 17 is the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. It's a time to be a visible ally and promote LGBTQIA+ inclusion in your community. Here are 6 ways you can be a better LGBTQIA+ ally: 🌈 1. Learn and Listen! Listen to the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people. Check out content creators, listen to podcasts and attending inclusion training. 🌈 2. Inclusive Language! Use terminology that includes LGBTQIA+ people. For example, use the word “partner” to avoid assuming someone’s gender. 🌈 3. Be Visible! Signal to others that you’re someone who’ll support them. You could wear rainbow, share social media content and get involved with queer events. 🌈 4. Show Your Pronouns! Showing your pronouns shows others you’ll respect theirs too! Wear a pin, or add yours to your email signature or social media profile. 🌈 5. Use Your Voice! Stand up for LGBTQIA+ people and speak up against discrimination, even if the person being talked about isn’t around. 🌈 6. Advocate For Inclusion! Build LGBTQIA+ inclusion in to your everyday life and advocate for others to do the same. You can learn more from organisations who do this work each day. You don't have to know everything about being an ally in order to start being one!
🌎 This International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Lesbophobia, and Transphobia, we're looking at where we are for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK. 📊 New ILGA-Europe rankings released this week show the UK is stalling on progress compared to its neighbours. What does this mean in reality for LGBTQ+ people’s lives, and how can we get back on track? Stand with the LGBTQ+ community this #IDAHOBLIT. Donate today ▶️ https://bit.ly/44KTzGZ. #IDAHOBLIT2024

The US Heritage Foundation sets the weather for the Christian Right and has been highly influential on Trump. There isn't a word strong enough to describe its hatred for LGBTQ+ people and it reserves its deepest - pretty much murderous - loathing for trans people. Trump and his acolytes have been highly influential on the British Conservative Party, with the desperate Sunak aping talking points from the US Right increasingly. Some months ago, British Minster for Equalities, Kemi Badenoch was fawning over Ron DeSantis - a Republican governor who has made his state (Florida) THE most toxic place in the US to live for transgender people. Here, Nancy Kelly, who runs Stonewall, breaks down what The Heritage Foundation (also highly influential on UK anti-trans actors, some of whom have spoken at their events) has in mind for the next Trump administration. If you are LGBTQ+ this has the full resonance of Nazi rhetoric in the 1930s. It is terrifying to be trans in the UK at the moment, as the Tories, backs against the electoral wall, retreat further and further into hard right fantasyland - in their attempt to keep at least a few seats in the next election and to avoid Farage killing them. It's going to be grotesque, hateful and lie-filled stuff for the next year. Alongside this, it seems, according to recent social attitudes research, that the media in the UK has, in the space of three years (and in one question in just one year) produced a complete collapse in public support for trans people's human rights here. I am still trying to find the raw data for this annual survey, but, speaking as an ex-market researcher, the drop in support in some areas (huge increases in people publicly, un-self-consciously, admitting to 'being prejudiced' against trans people) seems on the face of it faster and more dramatic than anything I have EVER seen before. This is what happens when The Times, The Telegraph, The Mail, The Sun, The Guardian, The Express, the BBC and the government all align in a coordinated campaign of hate against a tiny, vulnerable group. A final remark. Last month, I posted about British Rowing's decision to join the stampede to ban trans women from the women's division of their sport, across the board. That post resulted in some sickening trolling on this page, which I deleted. The usual lies and hate were thrown around. I have blocked those who did it. As a woman with a trans history myself I am not interested in being abused by tired, hate-filled nonsense spewed by people who have never met a trans person, have no understanding of the trans experience, who rely on unhinged newspapers or columnists for their opinions, and who, QAnon-like, launch into a bigoted rage at the slightest chance. If you imagine that you have some game-changing piece of hate, some killer insult that will somehow shut me down, know this. You don't. I've heard it all before. We all have. All the lies. We hear them every single day. Go to hell.
A long read by me on the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025', how close the UK and the US right are when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, and what it could mean for the global movement and LGBTQ+ people around the world if the Republicans win and then pick up this 'policy bible'. Mostly a reminder to not to assume that human rights and human flourishing always move forward, however much we wish they would. https://lnkd.in/ezFvdwD8 CW transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny Pic: Manchester Evening News

I have created an experimental project to see how two chatbots debate various topics. Here is an example of one advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, the other opposing. A fascinating experiment to explore diverse perspectives, challenge biases, and foster constructive dialogue. Let's use AI to understand, empathize, and bridge gaps for a more inclusive future. #AIforDialogue #DiverseConversations #LLM #machinelearning

The word "queer" has had negative connotations in the past, and it was once used against the LGBTQ+ community. Today, we often see it more widely used in a positive way. How should we use the word "queer" now? Find out in Lou Smith's latest article! https://lnkd.in/ggKGjJSy
