Pride Month is here—an explosion of rainbows around your business, from Zoom backgrounds and notice boards, to email signatures and social media profile pictures. But when all of this Pride paraphernalia departs on July 1st, what will be left for your LGBTQ+ employees and customers? Alasdair James Scott, Senior Inclusion & Diversity Consultant at PDT Global (part of Affirmity) examines why Pride is a movement, not a moment.
Pride continues to be a moment for many Diverse people to be unapologetically themselves, to celebrate who they are, and laud the crucial steps toward equality that have already been made. However, its roots in activism and the continuing need to endure against historical wrongs and ongoing injustices (including recent “Don’t Say Gay” and transgender-hostile bathroom bills) create a tension that isn’t missing on those enjoying all the revelry. This friction between celebration and march complicates your organization’s participation in proceedings.

Well, it is my pleasure to welcome the three of you to the demonstrate , and also the very first age we are attempting four people on one podcast, so God go with all four of us. Thanks for coming.
Michael: Thank you.
B.T.: Thanks, Jen.
Jen: Here’s what’s going to happen. We’ve got a million things to talk about, but I wonder, really quickly, if each of you can take a minute, identify yourself so people can learn your voices, and then inform us a petty bit about you. Tell us what your work is and where you are and what your family looks like and what’s your deal and what’s your story. Is that fine? Okay, how about Matthew, you travel first.
Matthew: Okay, my name is Matthew Vines. I live in Dallas currently, but I grew up in Wichita, Kansas, in a conservative Presbyterian church. I came to terms with being lgbtq+ when I was a sophomore in college, and that was a beautiful significant upending of my life, because there was really no precedent for being able to accept or realize or support that in my family or church. But my love for Jesus is the number-one thing for me,
FIVE QUESTIONS TO ASK Gay COLLEAGUES TO START Fit WORKPLACE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT INCLUSION (…AND WHAT NOT TO ASK)
Asking the right questions is a powerful way for straight allies to understand the experiences and challenges of LGBTQ+ colleagues. Infosys Consulting Principal and business coach Rachelle Harvey transitioned three years ago, and now works to raise the profile of LGBTQ+ issues at perform and promote inclusive practices.

"Occupying Margins: A Panel Discussion on Gender"

As part of Gender non-conforming Awareness Week 2016 on OSU’s campus, SOL and the Pride Center hosted an event entitled “Occupying Margins: A Panel Discussion on Gender” in which three OSU students—Tara Crockett, Malik Ensley, and Vickie Zeller— with moderator Samantha Wood, spoke about their personal experiences with gender, as well larger impressions of the topic. The description of the panel was as follows: “This panel aims to spotlight the lived experiences of non-binary/genderqueer/gender non-conforming folx who live beyond the gender binary.” During the event, the panelists answered pre-decided questions as well as queries from the audience.
A wide array of issues were addressed, including South Asian poetry duo Dark Matter and their argument that if you are a person of color, queer, differently abled, neuro-diverse, low-income, etc. you already do not fit the definition of “man” or “woman.” The three describe their vision for working towards a society that cherishes these trans and non-binary genders and relationships, rather tha
