Lived Places Publishing have launched another critically important work in the Disability Studies collection led by Damian Mellifont PhD and Jennifer Smith-Merry and written by Wayne Herbert and Yenn Purkis: What can we learn from the lived experiences of Disabled people identifying as LGBTQIA+? Through a series of personal reflections, In Our Words follows the difficult journeys of a number of Queer and Disabled authors from coming out to arriving at a place of positive identity:https://lnkd.in/eE7MEKVi #publishing #teachingandlearning #libraries

Human rights are for everyone

So easy to preach It.

As #pridemonth comes to an end, it's important to remember that #diversity remains a significant topic in many areas, including #clinicaltrials, where too many people are invisible. We need to ensure everyone is represented and has the same opportunity to benefit from medical progress. Read more about diversity in clinical trials here: https://lnkd.in/erYSU5db

While I am still soaked in the endorphin of completing all my IGCSE exams, I'd like to discuss an important issue in our community. Specifically, the minority stress faced by #LGBTQIA+ individuals in their daily lives. Some of my peers have bravely shared both positive and challenging experiences of identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community or being an ally. It's crucial to recognize that as a #minoritygroup, they often face #discrimination, #prejudice and other #stressors - as evidenced by considerable scientific research like the #MinorityStressModel and Multiple Minority Stress and LGBT Community Resilience among Sexual Minority Men (McConnell, Janulis, Phillips, Truong, & Birkett, 2018). While acceptance and support are growing significantly, there is still work to be done in creating truly safe and nurturing environments. As it is #PrideMonth, I wanted to share two useful resources for supporting the mental well-being of Hong Kong's LGBTQIA+ population: - This community directory from Mind HK lists local services and resources available: https://lnkd.in/d9j3ZeUd - A video I created for my former secondary school two years ago introduces the concept of active listening - a critical tool for providing non-judgmental support so others feel heard during difficult times. https://lnkd.in/dDTqQuyn As allies, continuing to educate ourselves and offer compassionate support are small but important ways to make progress on this important issue.

On June 28, 1969, 55 years ago today, the Stonewall Riots ignited the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights, marking a pivotal moment in history. What has changed since then, and how can we continue to show support and active allyship? ✅ Update Policies: Implement and enforce non-discrimination policies and inclusive benefits. ✅ Inclusive Language: Use language that acknowledges and respects all identities in workplace activities and family engagements. ✅ Recognition and Protection: Ensure the rights and protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals are upheld. As we pause to celebrate, let’s also identify how we can turn "ally" into a verb—actively championing fairness, preventing discrimination, and cultivating understanding. #AmplifyEI #PrideMonth #PrideDay
