Our recent volunteer effort involved planting a garden at “Casa Francela Mendez,” a community center recently opened by the human rights nonprofit Colectivo Alejandria. Crowley Cares and our business resource group Stronger Together: LGBTQ+ Alliance joined to make a difference in their center, which was created to provide a safe, stigma-free environment for the LGBTQ+ community. We’re proud to see our team members contribute to a place that fosters a sense of belonging and inclusivity in #ElSalvador.

I love that we support and celebrate inclusiveness and diversity, but honestly, I have to speak from my perspective as a CEO. I often wonder if it's me, the person, or my mindset as a Leader and a CEO. I believe the only time we will be inclusive is when no one has to wave a flag or wear a badge or a wristband. Same for disabilities, ethnicity, or colour. People talk crap even when wanting not to... 'Oh, I don't see colour...' said a mate of mine recently. 'Well, get an eye test, pal; he is as black as the Ace of Spades, ' I replied. Oh no, that's not what I meant said he. Yes, it wasn't, but why do you even have to state that? Why does it need to be said? Just be his mate. I guess what I am trying, and probably failing and inviting a load of snowflakes to pile in, is people are people. When we get to a stage where none of this is a subject matter, that is what I call inclusive. As for diversity, well, God decided that already. What's it got to do with us? There are some things I am well known for by my friends and family. One is that I have absolutely no 'Gay-Dar'. One of my good pals from past work life is now a woman, and considering our personal backgrounds, I find it extremely difficult to get my head around but equally not at all difficult to accept. It's her life; she can do what she likes that makes her happy. I couldn't give a monkey's what she chooses to do; she's still the same person as when I first knew her, apart from the blindingly obvious and having a far less deep voice. I think the longer this need to recognise everyone with their own special symbols and the like, actually the further away we get from where people aspire to be. If someone is Gay, Bi-, Straight whatever, It doesn't occur to me at all, and I am equally not the slightest bit bothered when I become aware of it. What I care about is simple. In work, are you a good colleague, a grafter who is aware that the customer pays us all and values them? In my social life, are you good company, do we share values and interests, or are you really annoying or boring? Those things are the only things that matter, or should matter. When we can take pride in not needing symbols or events like pride flag and month then and only then in my humble opinion do I reckon we have cracked it. Until then though, Happy Pride Month to everyone who feels represented and that it gives them belief they can live happily and openly. I hope I am wrong and that actually it is empowering and breaking down barriers without what I like to call 'Idiots' who haven't got the brains they were born with being like scared rabbits towards anyone who is different from them. Until then, please call out all 'Idiots' instead of looking at your feet or looking away. Failing to discourage, by its very definition, lacks courage, and that's the only difference; people of Pride Month have had to show courage; the least you can do is make that inclusive by showing your own where they do get abused by the Idiots.
Happy Pride Month!🌈 At GovData, we're proud to celebrate the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment. How are you celebrating Pride Month? #pridemonth

Can confirm: "Scott’s gifts to LGBTQ organizations have been transformative in what they have allowed organizations to do. Large unrestricted gifts empower LGBTQ organizations to pursue new & significant opportunities that have the potential to broaden the movement’s impact, (especially) in light of the current context LGBTQ communities are facing. When looking at the gap between the scope of gifts given to LGBTQ organizations & gifts given to nonprofit organizations in general, a primary takeaway for funders from Movement Advancement Project (MAP)'s report is: Do not shift your giving away from other types of organizations, but also give more boldly to LGBTQ organizations to close the gap." It is a critical time for bold action!

Good morning and welcome to our second annual Family Equality Giving Day – which coincides with LGBTQ Families Day. This is a day to celebrate our families in all corners of the United States and we’ll do just that all day long. Family Equality is wrapping its arms around more families than ever before – providing them with a loving community, connection, resources, and education and protecting them through our policy and advocacy work. Start your day with this hope-filled video with messages from our families and, most importantly, our children! And then support our work by giving to our Family Equality Giving Day campaign. We’re hoping to raise $25,000 and every dollar helps get us to (and hopefully beyond!) that goal! #FamilyEqualityGivingDay #LGBTQFamiliesDay https://lnkd.in/dd7HYSY7 https://lnkd.in/d-KHY-qa

I utilize digital communications to tell Black & LGBTQ+ rural stories | Speaker | Creator | Writer | Rural Health | Reproductive Justice
“As the studies and surveys cited here demonstrate, #LGBTQ+ people living in #rural communities encounter the same mental healthcare challenges as other rural Americans, but the disparities in accessing resources and appropriate treatment can be even more difficult because of existing prejudices and discrimination. It’s a call to action for rural communities to come together to increase awareness and dispel the stigma experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Some ways communities can help to tackle the disparities include: In rural #healthcare – Educate the workforce, put in place inclusive systems of care, and implement policies that address discrimination. In rural schools – Implement practices and policies to support #LGBTQyouth. In local and state governments – Propose and support laws and public policies that enforce protections against discrimination of LGBTQ+ people.” #RuralHealth
June is Pride Month and we at Rural Minds join individuals and organizations in celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. During #PrideMonth2024, we invite you to access information about the mental healthcare challenges rural LGBTQ+ people face, as well as resources for support: https://bit.ly/3N68ZP9 #RuralMentalHealth #PrideMonth

🌈 It's International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. Let's stand together and continue to educate ourselves on how we can best support the LGBTQ+ community, and work towards a world free from discrimination and prejudice. As part of our commitment, we asked university students, "How can brands better support the LGBTQ+ community". These insights underscore the significant role brands play in advocating for and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Let’s take these insights to heart and continue to strive for inclusivity and equality in all that we do. 🧡 #IDAHOBIT2024
