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!

Creating an on-premise experience that couples brand messaging with the liquid to lips experience is most effective when you have receipts in the LGBTQ community to back it up. Everyone likes a free sample, but affinity is built around authenticity. Ask us about how we help. #LGBTQconsumers #LGBTQbars #sampling

Interesting insights from Stonewall on #IDAHOBIT. The UK used to be #1 in Europe for LGBTQ+ rights, and we're now listed at #16. Why? And what we can do? It's the easiest thing in the world to say that you don't want these things 'shoved down your throat', but we still have significant inequality for LGBTQ+ people within our society and our workplaces. There are actions we can all take to address this.
