The Trevor Project’s Post

Source: Good Housekeeping From the article: "During the month of June, you'll see LGBTQ+ pride gear everywhere. From apparel with witty sayings, to collectible Starbucks tumblers to a variety of Pride flags waving from businesses and homes alike. But what about every other month? In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack nationwide, especially for trans and gender-nonconforming people, showing the community that you care all year is so important." #Pride #LGBTQ #Queer #QueerBusiness #ShopQueer #LGBTQBusiness #ShopLGBTQ #Business #Businesses

Working where I can be and share my whole self is non-negotiable.

Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈❤️ As we step into this vibrant month of celebration, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of visibility for queer individuals in the office space. As a proud lesbian and poly person, I understand the profound impact that being seen and acknowledged can have on an individual. It's about more than just being present; it's about creating a space where we can all feel safe, supported, and free to express our true selves without fear. While we celebrate Pride, we must also confront the rise in hate crimes in Norway (as well as the rest of the world), a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for true equality. Let's stand united against such hate and advocate for a society where love and acceptance prevail. Visibility matters. It paves the way for understanding, acceptance, and change. This Pride, let's commit to fostering an environment where every voice is heard, every identity is respected, and every person can thrive. Here's to celebrating our unique journeys and the collective progress we've made. #Pride #Inclusivity #Visibility

Reacting to 2023’s backlashes and boycotts, some brands have avoided Pride 2024 despite a clear commercial and moral imperative: globally, LGBTQ+ spending power rose by 20.5% between 2019 and 2023. But others are winning fans by digging in, surfacing hidden histories, creating sanctuaries, centring family (biological and chosen) and taking an educative role.

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: A Personal Reflection 🌈 As we step into Pride Month, I find myself reflecting on what this time means to me—not just as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but as someone who values diversity, acceptance, and love in all areas of life. June is Pride month. Commemorating the Stonewall riots, Pride Month is an inclusive celebration that honours our community, our history, achievements, and ongoing struggle for equality. I often come across posts across various social media platforms from people making statements such as "When is straight month?", "Why should they get an entire month to throw it down our throats?" or "It's disgusting and inhuman". It's these very comments that show why we still need to keep fighting for equality. This serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of acceptance, diversity, and love. It brings together individuals, organisations, and communities to advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and celebrate the progress made towards a more inclusive society. Lead with kindness, Love is Love. Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Diversity #Inclusion #LoveIsLove #Authenticity #Community #ExpressYourTrueColors#PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Diversity #Inclusion #Equality #Pride2024

It was great to lead the Route team in this discussion yesterday covering the importance of representation for all groups in advertising and the value that this thinking gives to business. Some really good debate about the importance of language and context in society, and also in activation when considering things like key word strategy through to linear TV ad placement. Really important topics that are the backbone of planning on a daily basis.
