Well worth reading/listening to this panel discussion covering LGTBQ family-building topics.

Huge thanks to colleagues and guests who joined us for a panel discussion today in recognition of IDAHOBIT, led by Richard Hartigan, Partner Sponsor of our Perspective (LGBTQ and Allies) network at Eversheds Sutherland. Key take-aways included: - Although progress has been made in some countries, we cannot be complacent; inequality and discrimination persists and more needs to be done to support those who are most marginalised - #Allyship is key to making progress, from those who are outside the LGBTQ community, as well as those within - There are actions we can all take in our everyday to support colleagues and others within the LGBTQ community; a simple action such as sharing pronouns in email signatures is a helpful start - Visible role models play a very important part in helping to establish an inclusive culture in the workplace. #IDAHOBIT2024 #inclusion

I wish everyone a Happy Pride Month. At this time in our history it is as important as ever for employers to recognize that organizational diversity leads to more informed decision making, a cohesive workforce and better economic outcomes. As we celebrate Pride Month I encourage you to educate and bring along those who oppose the tenants of this month long celebration; inclusion, acceptance, joy, belonging, diversity. These projectors of supposed 'virtue', who exist in most organizations and societies and who we all unfortunately have contact with, are the creators of exclusionary constructs that want to control you, maintain power and exert self-righteous mores rather than partner, grow and develop you as an individual. They exist to the detriment of social, corporate and organizational cohesion. Projected virtue in this sense is merely the marriage of caution and hypocrisy. Speak openly about this hypocrisy to reveal to them and the world that diversity is the reality of the human condition, even when they don't want to see it. We are more successful as a species and a society when the full rainbow is seen! Be Vocal Be Visible Be Yourself

Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ community. Let's foster workplaces that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion. We can create a world where everyone can live and love freely. #IDAHOTB #Inclusion #DiversityAndInclusion #GeminiEnergySolutions
