Every June, cities around the world are awash in vibrant rainbows as the LGBTQ+ community and allies celebrate Pride Month. This celebration is often associated with coming out, a pivotal moment for many LGBTQ+ individuals. However, Pride Month is about much more than that. It is a powerful affirmation of pride in oneself, a celebration of self-acceptance, and a call to embrace our authentic identities. Coming out is undoubtedly significant; it marks a personal and often transformative journey. Yet, Pride Month extends beyond this singular act. It is about recognizing and honoring the ongoing process of self-acceptance. For many, embracing their identity is a lifelong journey that involves overcoming societal prejudices, internalized stigma, and personal struggles. Pride Month celebrates the courage it takes to live authentically every day. Moreover, Pride is about visibility and representation. It serves as a reminder that LGBTQ+ individuals exist in all walks of life and deserve to be seen, heard, and respected. This visibility is crucial in fostering a sense of belonging and community, especially for those who might feel isolated or marginalized as I did growing up and even through my young adulthood. I felt I was worth less than the folks who were “normal”. At its core, Pride is about love and self-respect. It’s a declaration that everyone deserves to love and be loved, free from fear and discrimination. It's about acknowledging the worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In essence, Pride Month is a celebration of the entire journey of self-acceptance. It’s about coming out, yes, but it's also about what comes after—living openly, authentically, and proudly. It’s a time to embrace who we are and to support others in their journeys toward self-acceptance. Pride is not just an event; it's a powerful affirmation of identity, community, and love…FOR EVERYONE. I’m proud to be a part of an organization who celebrates this month with our community!

Knowing that you're welcome (without having to ask first) can make all the difference in the world. Why not put your hand up as a Safe Space in Logan? Find out more here >> https://buff.ly/4bdbzfm

📣 CALLING DRINKS BRANDS! 📣 (And all brands really, but drinks is where I'm at, so...) Literally everyone, no matter the size of a business, advertises. Maybe not through an agency, but there will be marketers in your team. And! Some of them will be queer! Also also also - however you're communicating your brand, you will be speaking to queer people. We are in your audience. Fact. So. In case you've not come across it - I'd love to introduce Outvertising! Outvertising is a brilliant organisation that works to make the UK ad and marketing industries completely inclusive for LGBTQ+ people. Outvertising Live is coming up, but the team does super cool stuff all year round, too. Check out the LinkedIn page and website. So what? I'd really recommend encouraging people in your business to come along to Outvertising Live next month. The free half-day conference is for folks in the queer community, allies, and basically anyone who wants to see a better advertising and marketing industry. Not just when it comes to representation, but also through workplace policies, and in loads of other ways as well. AND! Do consider supporting the event! The sponsor deck is below, and packages start from £2k. I really, REALLY believe that advertising is powerful. It doesn't just reflect society, it can effect change too. Those of us who shape the messages that head out in the world have a responsibility to take this seriously and use it for good. Learning how to do that, from genuinely incredible creatives and thought leaders - and enabling others to do so - is an important part of seeing progress happen. SO GET INVOLVED! That's all :) (I'm not involved with Outvertising in any way, but I did go to Outvertising Live last year and I'm heading to it again next month. It's amazing!)

Get involved and help if you can

It's time we began pushing boundaries to build an environment that's more accepting and loving. An environment where inclusivity feels natural, and isn't looked at as a privilege. It's time we started looking beyond these boundaries to spark conversations, which in turn create real-world impact. Cos closets are for clothes, not for identities.

#ALLY: One that is associated with another as a helper: a person or group that provides assistance and support in an ongoing effort, activity, or struggle. Being an #ally of the LGQBT+ community means actively supporting and advocating for the rights and well-being of everyone in that community. To be an effective ally, we should work to educate ourselves on the diverse identities within the community, the history of LGBTQ+ rights movements, and the ongoing issues they face. If I'm honest, this is an ongoing effort for me. Not just within the LGBTQ+ community, but understanding the history, diversities, and ongoing issues of those of different races, origins, religions, and abilities. I am working every day to become a better ally, and proud to work for a company that is doing the same. Taking actionable steps is vital in demonstrating genuine allyship. Here are some practical ways from my friends at TriPride TN to support the LGBTQ+ community: ➡ Educate Yourself: Continuously seek knowledge about LGBTQ+ issues, terminology, and experiences. Read books, attend workshops, and engage with credible resources to deepen your understanding. ➡ Listen and Amplify Voices: Actively listen to the experiences and stories shared by LGBTQ+ individuals. Amplify their voices by sharing their narratives, achievements, and struggles. Centering their experiences helps create space for authentic representation. ➡ Stand Up Against Discrimination: Speak out against homophobia, transphobia, and any form of discrimination. Challenge stereotypes and biases, and be a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in your personal and professional life. ➡ Use Inclusive Language: Be mindful of the language you use. Respect and use individuals’ chosen pronouns and gender identities. Avoid assumptions or making insensitive jokes or comments that may perpetuate harmful stereotypes. ➡ Support LGBTQ+ Organizations: Contribute to and volunteer with local LGBTQ+ organizations that provide support, resources, and advocacy for the community. Your involvement helps amplify their impact. ➡ Foster Safe Spaces: Create and promote safe and inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or discrimination. Be an ally in your personal relationships, workplaces, and social circles. Happy Pride Month, everyone! #safespace #PRIDE
