Really appreciate the thoughtful and subtle LGBTQ+ representation in these images. Spot the lanyard, watch-strap, hairstyles, clothing.. all cues and "cultural shorthand" to signal LGBTQ+ identities and allies. This image case study was created by a team at the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) to support inclusive image creation in clinical trial materials.

Today, Ari Shaw, Ph.D. represented The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law on a panel at the Milken Institute Global Conferenece on The Role of Companies for LGBTQ+ Rights. We are beyond grateful to Briland Graves, Brian Patrick Fano Carandang, and Richard Ditizio for making this important conversation come to life. “In the United States alone, nearly 14 million adults identify as LGBTQ+. The LGBTQ+ community currently wields $1 trillion in spending power—a metric that is only expected to grow. As the community becomes increasingly represented in employee and consumer bases alike, what role should corporations play in LGBTQ+ rights? How does it inform how and when companies make business decisions?” You can watch the whole panel here: https://lnkd.in/gBnrUVS6 #MIGLOBAL

3 impactful ways to be an LGBTQ+ ally on your film & TV productions 🌈🎬 1. Put your pronouns in your email signature → Even if you identify as cisgender, this helps to remove stigma for transgender people who need to establish this in their own emails 2. Organise inclusion training for you, your cast and your crew → ScreenSkills have a great "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the Screen Industries" training module that's a good place to start (If anyone knows of any LGBTQ+ media specific training, comment below! 👇) 3. Advocate/show your allyship → Gently point out microaggressions, be aware of your own language and stand up for LGBTQ+ cast and crew when they're not in the room ✨ Bonus tip! ✨ Remember that LGBTQ+ allyship is NOT limited to one month of the year. Normalise inclusive working for all, so everyone can benefit all year round. Happy Pride Month all 😊🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQInclusion #TVProduction #ProductionAssistant

1 in 10 Americans learned about LGBTQ+ history in school Only one in 10 Americans learned about LGBTQ+ history in school, according to a new survey by Talker Research (formerly OnePoll U.S.) The survey of 300 LGBTQ+ Americans found just 4% learned about LGBTQ+ history in primary or secondary school, while 6% said it was included as part of their college curriculum.
