Pride Month is over, but we're not done talking about it! 🏳️🌈 Partnering with Pride in London, GAY TIMES, Galop, Classical Pride, QueerAF and Trans+ History Week CIC, throughout the month of June Outernet London showcased a diverse range of content designed to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community, completely free to audiences right in the heart of Soho. These exhibitions varied from hosting a stunning display of GAY TIMES' iconic archive, showcasing the publication's journey and the significant strides made in LGBTQ+ representation, to ADOT FOUNDATION x Galop's important campaign "The Storm Shelter", featuring the voices of LGBT+ celebrities and allies, alongside voices of real victims of hate crime. 🤍 Other notable pieces include Trans+ History Week CIC's transportive experience that takes visitors on a journey through the millennia old history of Trans+ people, all while immersed in the choral sounds of the UK’s first professional trans+ choir, Trans Voices; and Classical Pride's new concept Classical Drag, a live event in Outernet Venues featuring a live orchestra of LGBTQ+ musicians and allies. 🎵 On Pride Day itself, we had an incredible time celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community through a series of vibrant and joyous events. From showcasing our house content, Paint the Outernet Rainbow and Emoji Shower: Pride Edition, to featuring DJ sets and Dancer Performances, our Pride celebration was filled with unforgettable moments. 🌈 🎥 Check out the video below to see the highlights from Saturday 29th June, and relive the excitement. #OuternetLondon #Pride #PrideMonth #EntertainmentIndustry #EventsIndustry

Experienced Social Media Producer & Content Creator | Specializing in Music Industry Marketing & Creative Projects | Seeking New Opportunities
“Who is a LGBTQ+ music industry professional that inspires you?” This was a question on the application to join Out Jamz for the Spring/Summer 2024. We asked folks to let us know if there was any music industry professional that was LGBTQ+ that they looked up to whether it was a producer, A&R, etc. The number one answer we got was the following: “I don’t know anyone.” or simply left it blank. If this doesn’t show how crucial LGBTQ+ representation is in the music industry right now than I don’t know what is. We are progressing slowly especially as we see more LGBTQ+ artists hit the mainstream but there are many LGBTQ+ folks behind the scenes working to make it all happen who don’t recieve the light of day. This is exactly why Out Jamz is here, to amplify those voices and to give aspiring LGBTQ+ folks people that they can feel safe to connect with and look up to. Its time for more change and to keep working hard. #musicindustry #lgbtq #musicbusiness #musicindustryprofessional #dei

I've had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the outstanding team at Out Jamz and the founder, Liam Gillin. They embody inclusivity and acceptance, making them truly remarkable individuals I've enjoyed connecting with online. Here's some valuable advice for those venturing into the music industry, whether as photographers, journalists, or graphic designers: 1) Research is always important. Whether through watching Disney Channel or following YouTubers, chances are you've encountered LGBTQ individuals. Understanding their perspectives and experiences is essential. Before joining Out Jamz, I was fortunate to learn from my mentor Anna Billy at 1520 Vision created by Stacey M.. If a mentor isn't available or you don't have one, don't hesitate to ask friends' questions or seek guidance from online forums or resources like Zane Lowe's interviews. 2) Diversify your applications. Don't rely solely on one opportunity. In the music industry, exploration and networking are crucial. Engage with people beyond their musical interests. Networking, even through Instagram DMs, can open unexpected doors. And even if Out Jamz doesn't seem like your thing, there are tons of other outlets and organizations that explore and advocate for inclusivity. Amplify Her Voice and Diversability® 3) Take your applications seriously. While unpaid or temporary positions may not seem significant, they offer valuable experience that you can apply to cover letters and resumes. Many contributor and publication roles start this way due to the nature of startup businesses. Please treat each application with the same diligence as a job application, and revisit it if necessary. 4) Familiarize yourself with the publication or nonprofit's past projects. Understanding their content and music is vital. A thorough search on platforms like YouTube, Google, Spotify, or Instagram can provide insight into their work. Almost everyone has at least one social media account, make use of it! 5) Use your volunteer experiences! Every little thing you do matters from tabling in college to Greek life to being a secretary for Active Minds, Inc. Towson University's club, I've talked about all of these experiences in applications and cover letters. I cannot emphasize enough how REVERB has changed my life and my college internship and experiences as an Alpha Phi Omega Brother, have helped me in the music industry. Social skills, volunteer work, and community service skills go a long way when you're looking for a new opportunity. 6) Lastly, embrace honesty and curiosity. Asking questions and seeking assistance demonstrates initiative and a willingness to learn. There's no shame in admitting what you don't know. Proactive communication is key to success in any industry. #musicindustry #lgbtq #advocacy #outlets #publications #unpaidwork #musicjournalist #avice #industryproffesionals #music #socialmedia #networking #disabled #chronicallyill

LGBTQ+ Pride Month- often shortened to Pride Month- is a month dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests that started in the US in 1969, which inspired and built on extensive collective movements across the globe. This month, IEECP wanted to remind our colleagues, our partners - current and future -, and all those reading this post about the unwavering support we should be offering not only to the LGBTQ+ community, but to all minorities, seen these times seeing a steady growth of far-right movements in the political spectrum. As such, IEECP pledges to continue advocating for inclusivity both within our organisation and externally, with an intersectional approach. We believe that social and climate struggles go hand in hand in a convergence of struggles. When challenging times arise, it is our collective duty to centre around meaningful change and community. Let’s work together to fight against inequalities, against systemic racism and against neocolonialism, while advocating for human rights, a better consideration of marginalised populations and future generations. Let us all act, together, for a just energy transition towards a more equal society, and let’s advocate for a green, inclusive and democratic future! Are you with us? Read our manifesto and commit to becoming a vector of change and bringing more inclusivity into your organisations through employee awareness and mobilization, associative partnerships, etc. https://lnkd.in/ermEtEFn EDIT - We amended the last sentence of our manifesto, which wording was incorrect with "The transition in which we work every day is for all people; it acknowledges and welcomes diversity in age, gender, identity or expression, sexual or romantic orientation, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic class, ability, or nationality."

What is Pride Month? Pride Month, which takes place from June 1 to June 30, is a time to shine a spotlight on LGBTQ voices, celebrate LGBTQ culture, achievements, and activism through a variety of planned activities. These events include film festivals, art exhibits, marches, concerts, and other programs held throughout the month. During this month, the LGBTQ community and its supporters come together to highlight LGBTQ voices, raise awareness about issues of inequality, and honor the memories of those lost to violence and the AIDS crisis. Why is Pride Month in June? Pride Month is observed in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a significant event in LGBTQ history. In the late 1960s, being openly gay was largely prohibited in most places, and in New York, for example, the mere presence of LGBTQ individuals was considered disorderly conduct, effectively banning gay bars. On June 28, 1969, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn, a popular bar with a diverse LGBTQ clientele, took a stand when the police raided the establishment. This confrontation sparked days of riots and protests, known as the Stonewall Uprising. One year later, on the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, thousands of individuals flooded the streets of Manhattan for the Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March, which is recognized as the first gay pride event in history. How did Pride Month originate? Pride Month began as Gay Pride Day, which was initially celebrated annually on the last Sunday in June before evolving into a month-long commemoration. As awareness grew, an increasing number of activities and events were organized to encompass the entire month. Over time, Gay Pride Day transitioned into the month-long recognition known today as Pride Month. The official designation was solidified in 1999 when President Bill Clinton declared June as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. This declaration was made to acknowledge the accomplishments of the LGBTQ community and show support for its members. What is the symbol of pride? The rainbow flag, designed by prominent San Francisco activist Gilbert Baker, is widely acknowledged as the symbol of LGBTQ pride. Baker created the flag to represent the diversity of humanity, symbolizing all genders and races. The six colors of the rainbow flag each symbolize a distinct element of the LGBTQ movement: life, healing, sunlight, nature, serenity, and spirit. @agingheroes @transpainter #pridemonth #celebratelgbtq #equityandinclusion

When I was first coming out as a queer, I couldn’t wait to attend my first Pride parade. It was like a rite of passage, some kind of official ritual I needed to go through to be a true, card-carrying member of the LGBTQ+ community. Years later, as I started to understand my gender identity and came out as transgender, Pride month lost its sheen for me. Especially as I learned firsthand that, just because something is queer-friendly, doesn’t mean it is trans-friendly. I shied away from dancing in the streets with my friends and opted for smaller, more personal celebrations of Pride. Some years I didn’t celebrate at all. After all, Pride for me was every day. I didn’t need a month to celebrate it, I was finally living it. My safety became the number one concern for me. It seemed as if more and more protestors were showing up at Pride events. Their signs larger, their megaphones louder, and their hate bolder. Pride feels different now. As anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-transgender legislation has loomed in the past few years and the eradication of our community has become a political platform, I often have to choose whether I want to be safe or I want to be visible and free. That is a question I ask myself every time I step outside my house, not just in June. My relationship with Pride is complicated, but what isn’t complicated is the feelings of pride I experience every day as my authentic self. I often think back to my first Pride, where I was who I am unabashedly for the first time, in front of thousands of strangers, without a care in the world. -- SJ Janjua, https://lnkd.in/eztvAu-Y On The Inclusion Solution blog, we're exploring the question: What does Pride mean to you? 💬 Comment below with a few words of what Pride means to you, and follow along on theinclusionsolution.com as we continue to feature voices from the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

June is Pride Month 🌈 🏳️🌈 Pride recognises Love, in all kinds and forms. It stands for and recognises the impact, history, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. It is a time to honor the struggles, achievements, and ongoing efforts for equal rights and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals. Pride Month stands for: 🌈 Commemoration of the Stonewall Riots: These riots were a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, sparked by police raids at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar. The resistance and protests that followed marked the beginning of a more organised and visible fight for LGBTQ+ rights. 🌈 Celebration of Identity and Diversity: Pride Month is a celebration of the diverse identities and expressions within the LGBTQ+ community. It encourages people to embrace and express their true selves without fear of discrimination or prejudice. 🌈 Awareness and Education: The month is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. It is also a time for educating the public on issues such as gender identity, sexual orientation, and the importance of equality and inclusion. 🌈 Support and Solidarity: Pride Month fosters a sense of community and support among LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. It is a time to show solidarity with those who may be struggling with their identity or facing discrimination and to advocate for their rights. 🌈 Advocacy and Activism: The month is an opportunity for activists and organisations to push for legislative and social changes that promote equality and protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people. This includes fighting against discriminatory laws and practices and promoting policies that ensure equal treatment and protection under the law. 🌈 Visibility and Representation: Pride events, such as parades, festivals, and marches, provide visibility to the LGBTQ+ community. These events highlight the presence and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals in society, promoting greater acceptance and representation.

In light of the fact that Pride Month has come to an end and that every single day members of the LGBTQ+ community and especially the Trans Community face significant challenges in their desire to lead a life without perssecution. As a member of the community myself and a Trans ally I wanted to share the below post from Max Siegel for wider reach... I don’t know who needs to hear this, but seeming as very few of the parties and politicians campaigning for election tomorrow seem to understand it or care, let me be very clear: Transgender women are not a threat to anyone’s safety. ”Gender Ideology” is a term coined by right-wing and internet-based hate groups to present the rights and existence of transgender people as a threat to other parts of society. No one is trying to make anyone else transgender. People advocating for trans rights and safety are trying to ensure that people who are trans are treated with safety, and respect and at a baseline, kept alive. If you are worried about men using transgender inclusion policy to access women’s spaces and assault women, then you are not worried about the actions of transgender people, you are worried about the actions of men. Please advocate (and vote) for policies which actually address that. The use of transgender people during this election cycle has been engineered as a dog whistle distraction from the horrific state of the U.K economically and socially. The question “what is a woman?” is an easier hit to a politician than “how are you going to solve the cost of living crisis?” or “why can’t I access medical care?” If you consider yourself an LGBTQ+ ally, please take the time to review the policies of the person or party you are voting for on LGBTQ+ and transgender rights. If you are not planning to vote for your own reasons, please consider using your vote to advocate for the trans community. Yours, with hope, Max (a real life transgender person) #DEI #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #Vote
