Reacting to 2023’s backlashes and boycotts, some brands have avoided Pride 2024 despite a clear commercial and moral imperative: globally, LGBTQ+ spending power rose by 20.5% between 2019 and 2023. But others are winning fans by digging in, surfacing hidden histories, creating sanctuaries, centring family (biological and chosen) and taking an educative role.

June is Pride Month–a time to celebrate the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and their progress in pursuit of equality and acceptance. It’s a time for reflection, education, and connection. Manchester Industries remains an ally and offers a supportive workplace where all employees feel safe, valued, and included. One simple way we can create a more accepting workplace is by adding pronouns to email signatures. Pronouns are how we identify ourselves apart from our names. Sharing your pronouns first can set a norm and encourage others to do the same. We don’t just talk about our commitment to inclusion, we choose to model it. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion

As #PrideMonth comes to a close, we celebrate our colleagues, consultants and clients in the LGBTQ+ community. As an LGBTQ+ owned business, we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued, which is why "belonging" is one of our four core values. During Pride Month, we commit to making sure everyone can be their true selves, which empowers them to do their best work and live their best lives. "Belonging" means more than just including everyone—it’s about making sure everyone feels seen, heard and supported, as our founder notes below: #ABConsulting #consulting #businessconsulting

It's Pride Month. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ We're looking forward to a month of celebration, conversation, and learning organized by our employee-led Pride+ affinity group, to increase awareness of LGBTQIA+ history, identity and community. 🌈 This year our internal theme is 'Empowerment through visibility' and we’ve made the decision to change our logo to the Pride Progress flag. Here's why 👇 Whether it's legislative threats to transgender rights in the UK and the US, the increase in hate speech globally, or recent tragic events like the hate-driven homicide of 3 lesbians in Buenos Aires, it's evident that the fight for equality persists. By prominently featuring the Pride flag colors, we stand with every member of the LGBTQ+ community, advocate for their rights, and celebrate their diversity. 👉 Pride+ is just one of the incredible affinity groups we have at Kin + Carta, who work tirelessly to help promote a safe environment for everyone to be themselves. Learn more: https://okt.to/e5A0g3 Their work continues to feed into our culture that values the diversity and inclusion of all our employees.💜 #ForEveryone #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion

As we celebrate Pride Month, let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces and communities. Embracing DEI not only enriches our environments but also drives innovation and growth. This month, let's commit to learning more about the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, to understanding the challenges they face, and to taking action in support of their rights. Let's use this time to start conversations that matter, to share stories that inspire, and to build bridges that unite. Together, we can create a world where everyone is free to be themselves and where equality isn't just a goal, but a reality. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll

#PrideMonth is not over. In fact, in some cities like Tacoma, WA, it is just starting! This year there seems to be more backlash against our community, but as this piece by NPR points out this backlash is a result of increased visibility, and has been perpetuated by a small group of bad actors. "Corporates have NOT stepped away from the LGBTQ+ community and nor are they going to. Honestly, in order to future-proof their business, they have to include our community. When you look at GenZ reporting, 30% identify as or are LGBTQ. That is the future consumer and employee." With visibility comes backlash. Our community has had peaks and lulls between progress and backlash. "What the people who lead these backlashes don't understand is that every time they go after us it inspires people to come out and be visible." When it comes to corporate sponsorship much of the pressure to participate comes from employees. Today we are seeing ERG groups fight back against the backlash. Let's continue to be visible and let everyone know that we are not going anywhere. If you are in #FinTech and #FinServ and want to work with the LGBTQ+ communities, stay strong on your conviction because the future is #Gay!
