Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBT), I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. I believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Why This Matters: LGBTQ+ individuals still face discrimination and violence around the world. Creating a more inclusive workplace benefits everyone - it fosters creativity, innovation, and a stronger company culture. By supporting LGBTQ+ rights, we are creating a more just and equitable society for all. What You Can Do: Educate yourself about LGBTQ+ issues. Challenge assumptions and biases. Speak up against discrimination. Support LGBTQ+ organizations. #IDAHOBT #LGBTQ+ #Equality

🚨New Flash🚨 You don’t have to struggle with an issue or align with/be a certain identity in order to show empathy and advocate for certain groups of people. For example, a straight cisgendered person doesn’t have to know what it’s like to be lgbtq+ in order to be an advocate or support fellow lgbtq+ humans. Some people just have a heart or they at least just know what it’s like to be bullied or mistreated for another reason. Therefore, they recognize their privilege and decide to stand up for marginalized and oppressed folx. This can apply to a wide range of issues. Not just lgbtq+. Please use your beautiful brains. 🤗 #intersectionality #advocacy

There’s a part of the LGBTQ+ community that’s even less talked about than bisexuality: intersex people. Did you know there are over 45 known intersex variations, involving a wide range of natural differences in chromosomes, hormone levels, and anatomy that fall outside typical male or female classifications? Many people can be intersex and not even know it. But when babies are born with visible intersex traits (like ambiguous or mixed genitalia), they often face forced surgeries, and their parents are many times given inaccurate information. To support the intersex community, we need to understand it better. Educate yourself at https://lnkd.in/gq4bZZeV.
