🌈🏳️🌈 Today, we proudly celebrate National Coming Out Day, a day dedicated to fostering love, acceptance, and inclusion for the LGBTQ community. Let's stand together, support each other, and create a world where everyone feels comfortable being their authentic selves. 🌈🏳️🌈 National Coming Out Day is also a day our youth will most likely come out! Here are 5 tips to support youth! You can follow to support a youth if they come out to you: ⭐️Thank the youth for trusting you in their coming out process. ⭐️Ask them what support they need. ⭐️Make sure to clarify the extent of their coming out. Just because they have come out to you does not mean they have come out to everyone. ⭐️Follow their lead. Do not ask too many personal questions or pry. This may be a difficult conversation for them to have. ⭐️Ask them what name or pronouns they prefer.

I must admit, during the panel, I was taken aback by my own vulnerability. However, I pushed through and opened up by sharing stories that fostered empathy and connection among the audience.

As a Relationship Manager at Workplace Pride, Robert Corvers takes great pride in the work he does for our members and his community. Recently, Robert had the privilege to share his personal story and expertise on LGBTIQ inclusion in the workplace during a panel discussion at Squire Patton Boggs. 📽 You can view the video below. This opportunity was not just important; it was necessary. Globally, we are witnessing the resurgence of anti-gay laws in countries like Ghana, Russia, and even the US. Unfortunately, this often translates into increased discrimination and microaggressions against the LGBTIQ community. It is crucial for employers to not only acknowledge this issue but also take action. Prioritising inclusion aligns seamlessly with business objectives. It fosters a win-win situation – not only do satisfied employees result, but it also contributes to higher profits in the long run. #WorkplacePride #LGBTHistoryMonth  #InclusiveWorkplace  #LGBTIQ

This June, as we celebrate Pride Month, InterSystems recognizes the importance of achieving health equity for the LGBTQ community.   Data plays a crucial role in connecting marginalized communities with essential care. A 2020 study by the National LGBT Cancer Network, "OUT: The National Cancer Survey," revealed that LGBTQ people of color were less likely to seek medical care for various cancers, facing isolation and significant barriers.     Access to life-saving care for all requires utilizing the same methods and technologies across all populations, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We applaud those leveraging data to foster a more inclusive continuum of care for LGBTQ individuals.
