This month, Target, Bud Light, and the Los Angeles Dodgers each launched exciting campaigns that aligned themselves with the LGBTQ+ community. However, when they were met with homophobia and transphobia alongside praise and excitement, they decided to pull affirming products from the shelves and distance themselves from trans spokespeople and drag performers. They were left with angry customers on all sides.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I could spend this article dissecting what each company did wrong, how they should have been prepared, and judge their public relations response. However, I\u2019d prefer to be proactive. How can your company, and you as an individual, ensure that you are thinking about LGBTQ+ inclusion year-round and keep the momentum going long after Pride Month ends?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1. Set a new standard.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> With 20% of all Generation Z (born approximately between 1995 and 2012) identifying as LGBTQ+, according to a 2022 Gallup poll, it is clear that queer inclusion is only becoming more important. We are not going anywhere. It is important that regardless of your role in an organization but especially for those in senior leadership, you set an expectation of inclusion for LGBTQ+ people. This includes simple actions, like putting your pronouns in your email address or Zoom name. It also means actively introducing yourself verbally with your pronouns, even if you are the only one doing it. Nothing makes me happier than when someone has written their pronouns in Sharpie on their nametag because they weren\u2019t printed that way (but let\u2019s always try to put them, okay?). Set the standard of using the right pronouns, not gossiping about someone\u2019s gender or sexuality, and shutting down homophobic or transphobic \u201cjokes\u201d in the break room or the board room.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2. Understand and leverage your privilege for good.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> We all live with privilege. As a White, able-bodied, native English-speaker from an upper-middle class family with a Master\u2019s Degree, I live with an awful lot of privilege. However, as a genderqueer, socialized female, neurodivergent, plus-size person, there are other challenges I encounter. Think about the privilege you hold in your life or organization, and how you can leverage that. Can you advocate for a budget for an LGBTQ+ ERG? Can you update language on the website or a form? Can you reiterate the point of a queer person that is spoken over in a meeting? Can you speak up against a homophobic or transphobic policy? The LGBTQ+ community doesn\u2019t need you to save us, but we do need partners and advocates in our corner. Speak up for us when we aren\u2019t in the room, make space for us in the room (even if that means you give up your seat), and ensure others are listening. At an organizational level, consider your brand or company\u2019s power, influence, and resources. Think about how you can advocate for new industry-wide standards of inclusion, combat anti-LGBT+ legislation, and make transformative philanthropic investments (even without a press release) because not only does it make <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamberfoundation.org\/reports\/better-business-benefits-lgbtq-inclusion-workplace\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">good business sense<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, it\u2019s 2023 and it\u2019s the right thing to do.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">3. Invest in LGBTQ+ talent.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> While LGBTQ+ people have many legal protections in the workplace, many of us have experienced consistent microaggressions at best or blatant discrimination at worst in different work environments. While you may have an anti-discrimination statement on your website, are you actively seeking out queer candidates? Consider participating in a job fair with the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/malgbtcc.org\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> or posting job opportunities with local LGBTQ+ organizations. When we have the opportunity to meet and engage with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/folx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">folx<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> from your company, especially other queer folx, we can better gauge how affirming your organization will be for us. This investment also extends to professional development opportunities, such as encouraging us to go to LGBTQ+ professional networking events, just as you might encourage us to go to a Chamber event. Also, consider a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/08\/why-you-need-a-supplier-diversity-program\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">diversity supplier program<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to prioritize vendors who are LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled, veterans, and from other traditionally underrepresented communities.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">4. Always consider representation.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Over 65% of LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ individuals report that they would like to see more LGBTQ+ representation in marketing, according to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpp.com\/wpp-iq\/2022\/11\/beyond-the-rainbow-an-investigation-into-lgbtq-marketing-and-its-future\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">2022 study from WPP<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. This is astounding because generally people don\u2019t want any kind of marketing or advertising! The study further showcased that people of all genders and sexualities want to see more representation in all kinds of media. Queer people are part of many people\u2019s lives that it feels strange when we aren\u2019t there. Think about how you can authentically tell the stories of LGBTQ+ staff or customers in your communications, both internal and external. Remember that not every queer person wants to share their story, nor should you exploit their story solely for profit. Consult resources, such as an ERG, or release a public request for stories, so folx are self-selecting involvement. Also, look to historical and contemporary LGBTQ+ figures that have made an impact on your industry or society at large that you can celebrate. When representation is partnered with other affirming actions, it becomes additive to authentic inclusion, rather than performative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">5. Stay informed.\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On an individual level, one of the most important things you can do is remain educated on LGBTQ+ issues. This includes best practices for workplace inclusion, and legislation affecting queer people locally and nationally. Find reputable news sources, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocate.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Advocate<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetaskforce.org\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">National LGBTQ Task Force<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, to add to your news lineup or social media feed. Follow queer creators, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gender.specialist\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Rebecca Minor\/Gender Specialist<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, or listen to podcasts, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earwolf.com\/show\/queery\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Queery with Cameron Esposito<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/makinggayhistory.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Making Gay History<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, to gain insight into the queer experience from those of us who are opening ourselves up to share. (Please don\u2019t ask your LGBTQ+ colleague what they think of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/press-releases\/for-the-first-time-ever-human-rights-campaign-officially-declares-state-of-emergency-for-lgbtq-americans-issues-national-warning-and-guidebook-to-ensure-safety-for-lgbtq-residents-and-travelers\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">HRC\u2019s LGBTQ+ Travel Advisory<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">; not everyone wants to tell you about it over Slack or in the break room.) Remember that queer people are experts of our own experience. Cameron Esposito begins her podcast with a similar sentiment: LGBTQ+ people have been around forever, but the ways in which we understand and describe gender and sexuality is new and foreign for many. Keep an open mind and take in this new information. Even as a queer person, I am learning constantly from people with different experiences all the time. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As Pride Month comes to a close, think about what has gone really well. Is there an initiative that you could continue \u2013 such as volunteering with an LGBTQ+ organization \u2013 or something you wish you had done better? Is there someone who has a lot of energy and allyship that you could talk to about this article, or do you have the power to make one of these changes right now?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Allyship is an action. It requires consistent consideration, learning, and behavior to be authentic and lasting. This Pride Month, commit to making LGBTQ+ inclusion a year-long activity, a 24\/7 routine in your personal and professional life. Every small step and giant leap we make brings us closer to authentic understanding and belonging. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stay Queer.
