How diverse are your bookshelves and playlists when it comes to LGBT+ characters and themes? For LGBT+ History Month we’ve dipped into GEC KnowHow, the biggest collection of DEI resources - for everyone, to select some books, podcasts and TV shows that can build belonging, start conversations and contribute to better inclusion. We know that by providing children with stories and books with information about themselves, their families and the wider LGBT+ community it’s possible to empower and educate people from a young age. Reading about LGBT+ characters, families that are alike or differ from yours, as well as exploring the history and discrimination that this community have faced and still face is a vital step for the future of inclusivity. Share your suggestions for resources with us below 👇The GEC KnowHow is always growing! https://lnkd.in/etXc2pzM #BookRecommendations #KnowHow #DiversityAndInclusion #RepresentationMatters #LGBTplusHM #Usualise #educateOUTprejudice #LGBTHistoryMonth

🌈 Reflecting on the End of LGBT+ History Month: A Call to Action 🌈 As we bid farewell to LGBT+ History Month, it's crucial to acknowledge the progress we've made in promoting inclusivity and understanding. However, the end of this designated month should not mark the conclusion of our efforts. There is still much work to be done, and our commitment to fostering a diverse and accepting society must extend beyond a mere 28 or 30 days. As we move forward, let's channel our collective energy into a few actionable steps we can take: ✨ If you manage people, make sure you understand the policies that would impact LGBT+ people. ✨Show your support for equality visibly and talk about how inclusion relates to your every day work. ✨ Commit to being an active bystander and challenging anti-LGBT+ language and behaviour. ✨ Find a way to lend your skills to the LGBT+ inclusion work happening in your organisation. Let's remember that our commitment to equality is not confined to a single month. It's an ongoing journey that requires collective action. Together, we can create a world where everyone is accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are. #LGBTQ+ #InclusivityMatters #EqualityForAll 🌍🏳️🌈

As we commemorate Pride Month, it's crucial to reflect on the significance of this celebration. With over 60 countries still criminalizing homosexuality, Pride stands as a vital commemoration of the sacrifices made for equality. Pride goes beyond festivity; it serves as a poignant reminder of our history, struggles, and victories. It's a moment to reclaim erased narratives, honour trailblazers, and inspire future generations. This month offers a platform to educate society on the diverse LGBT+ history, challenging misconceptions and showcasing contributions of historical figures. Pride Month symbolizes visibility, acceptance, and resilience within the LGBT+ community. It reinforces that LGBT+ individuals have always been integral members of society. Celebrating Pride means honouring our past, present, and future, ensuring our stories are shared, remembered, and cherished. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #Equality
