Today, we celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), a day dedicated to fighting against discrimination and violence towards the LGBTQ community. This day not only commemorates the progress towards equality but also reminds us that there is still much work to be done. As an LGBTQ activist, I have witnessed and I living the challenges and victories of our community. From the fight for basic rights to the pursuit of acceptance and respect in every corner of the world, each step is a testament to our resilience and courage. On this day, it is crucial to remember that our identities are not a burden or a phase but an integral part of who we are. Everyone deserves to live freely and without fear, with the assurance of being accepted and valued for their authenticity. We need to reflect on how we can contribute to a more inclusive and just world. Whether through education, supporting LGBTQ organizations, or simply being an ally in our daily lives, every action counts. Together, we can create a future where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can live with dignity and respect. Today, and every day, let's support the LGBTQ community in our fight for equality. Illustration by: Fox Fisher #IDAHOBIT #LGBTQ #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity #Respect

"Accidental Exclusion by Inclusion" is a common occurrence we witness, when it comes to showcasing being an inclusive organisation. This is especially common when it comes to inclusion of LGBTQ folx. While the actions are often well intentioned and positive, certain words, behaviors can end up having the opposite result; rather than making them feel included or appreciated, it makes them feel tokenized and / or singled out. In this video, we delve into the concept of "Accidental Exclusion by Inclusion" through a real-life example. Watch it to see how you can avoid it from subtly manifesting at your workplace too.
