How to be a good LGBTQ+ Ally

Speak up about injustice. If you hear people make homophobic, biphobic or transphobic comments and jokes, call them out.

Listen. If someone comes out to you, let them set the tone for the conversation. Take note of what words a person uses to describe themselves and their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. You should not apply labels to a person if you have not heard them use those labels for themselves.

Educate Yourself. Follow LGBTQ+ topics in the news to keep up to date on the current issues for the LGBTQ+ community. Recognise that language evolves and be open to new concepts and ideas. Look up words you are unfamiliar with.

Be Proactive. Demonstrate your tolerance, acceptance, and unquestioning of LGBTQ+ people to others, encourage people to see an alternative point of view and empower other people to be an ally by showing your empathy and compassion.

Remember. Pride is for life not just for June! There are lots of other Pride events such as awareness weeks for transgender, bisexuality+ and ace week that take place throughout the year.

Want to take action? Learn about LGBTQ+ history and culture, how policies affects LGBTQ+ people at work, and how to promote inclusion in the workplace with our LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Workplace Level 2 Certificate.
