You've probably seen the memes, articles and general internet content tearing brands to shreds for their lacklustre LGBTQ+ Pride campaigns.
For those who don't quite see the funny side (or the problematic indications of performative ally-ship), it can make planning an LGBTQ+ inclusive marketing (or internal communications campaign) feel like a bit of a minefield.
The LGBTQ+ Calendar
A great way to ensure you're avoiding falling into the "rainbows for Pride" trap is to look at the LGBTQ+ calendar.
Not only do you have Pride celebrations that happen globally from April until late September, but you can also recognise more specific identity celebrations and recognition days.?

1 年Hello good evening
Owner of The Millennial Mental Health Coach
1 年I love this, thank you! Also, I appreciate you exposing me to the term "performative-allyship!" For years, I've watched companies do this, but I didn't have the concise words to describe it/didn't have previous exposure to the term.
