In 2010, a powerful global movement was sparked when LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies spoke three words that would echo hope and resilience — "it gets better." This simple yet profound message ignited a wildly successful social media campaign, with over 70,000 individuals sharing their stories to offer solace and encouragement to young members of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, It Gets Better stands as a prominent global non-profit organization, touching the lives of millions of young people annually. Through an array of inspiring media initiatives, educational resources, and a network of international affiliates spanning 19 countries, It Gets Better provides vital support and access to community-based services. https://lnkd.in/gbA9BEfe #abbysoulproductions #resources #itgetsbetter #againsthomophobia

Like many other Queer people my age and older, I can still remember when I saw the news about the tragic murder of Matthew Shepherd. As a young child in the midwest hearing that something like that could happen just 500 miles aways, was shocking. But it also made me to realize that the parts of me that I knew were different were things that could put me in danger. It took me 15 years to feel safe enough to even verbalize out loud who I truely am. I will never be silent again. Stories like Matthew Shepherd's are far too common in the news today. A resent study reported that LGBT people are nine times more likely than non-LGBT people to be the victims of violent hate crimes. The increase in hate crimes against Trans people specifically has gone up by 11% in just the past year, and by 186% in the last five years overall. I encourage you to actively support the LGBTQ+ communities in your area to strengthen the positive presence of Allies in the eyes of those that are feeling frightened and alone. Be the light.

Two Spirit Humans are #SACRED and treasured Members of their own Sovereign Native People. This is an integral belief… from time immemorial. The ANTIChrist Spirit of Herecy and “DoctrineOfDiscoveryDEMONS still #INfect and “white wash” HISTORY with lies… and the Heritical Beast People still target the living members of Lost Tribes of Israel in 2023 #BAD_INtention to #SUBJUGATE our sacred beliefs. They ABUSE the courts and flood media to PERSECUTE US. Genocide uses the lowest common denominator to incite HATE and FEAR. The Beast People target OUR traditional beliefs; OUR religion and OUR culture. They ERASE and REWRITE History with the lies of The AntiChrist Spirit. The Beast People are family separators and rape apologists and forced-assimilating Genocidists and Facists who hide behind propaganda and false morality and false nationalism. OUR Federally Protected RIGHT to safely believe, live and teach our CULTURE AUTHENTICALLY; Is often targeted by INfiltrates of The Beast People. They harness hate power for their BILLION DOLLAR SHADOW CONnections #INsiderCriminalCartels cover up and add Roman Army Muscle to the DAILY ATTACKS of the #PedophileINdustryNetwork and the thinly veiled soulless ABUSE by their bought and paid politicians and lawyers and police … Who contINue to ILLEGALLY VIOLATE the Sacred Beliefs and Culture and make a MOCKERY of our Constitutional RIGHTS … on OUR STOLEN LAND Even targeting and stealINg Colonial Land Grants of the descendants of easily documented Jamestown Society Members in OUR COUNTRY By COLLUSION and ORGANIZED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY that they hide in three shell layers of “legitimacy.” #TRUTH #ReligiousPersecutionByElectedAndGovernmentOfficials2023 #Florida

Celebrating #Pride #Month (post 2) How can we Celebrate Pride Month? 1. we can join local Pride parades, festivals, and events to show support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. or we can attend virtual events and webinars if in-person participation is not possible. 2. we can educate ourselves and others about LGBTQ+ rights, and issues. 3. we can support LGBTQ+ authors, artists, and creators by consuming and promoting their work. 4. we can support LGBTQ+ Organizations by donating or volunteering. 5. last but not least, we can/should use inclusive language, respect pronouns, and stand against discrimination in all forms. This creates safe and inclusive spaces in your workplace, school, or community for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 As a People Leader I want to share ways to demonstrate your commitment and support for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. Diversity is our strength, and we all should be committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered. Here's how we all can demonstrate our commitment: 1. Inclusive Policies: Update your policies to ensure they are LGBTQ+ inclusive. From anti-discrimination measures to learning resources, strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive. 2. Pronouns Matter: Encourage everyone to share their pronouns in their email signatures and introductions. Let's normalize this practice and create a more respectful workplace. 3. Visibility: Throughout Pride Month, share stories of LGBTQ+ employees, allies, and community members. Celebrate their achievements and resilience. 4. Community Engagement: Actively support LGBTQ+ through donations to impactful organizations and events. Here is an organization that I will be donating to this month. Check it out and join me in supporting ALL with LOVE! Houston's New Faces of Pride:  https://lnkd.in/gJar4dMk Remember, supporting LGBTQ+ rights isn't just about a month—it's a year-round commitment. Let's continue to learn, grow, and stand together as allies. #pridemonth #alllovematters #lovewins

The problem doesn't lie with the campaign, but rather with the adverse response it has sparked. If we stand firmly against homophobia and transphobia, such discussions become unnecessary. However, society appears to recognize these harmful attitudes, consciously ignore them, and even appease them, thus conveying a message that this backlash is effective and empowering those who aim to harm our community. Our focus, therefore, should extend beyond addressing the surge in homophobia and transphobia. We must also address the growing acceptance of these prejudiced viewpoints. The media industry wields considerable influence in this arena. As the gateway for content and knowledge, we bear a responsibility to reject these perceived backlashes and continue to do what is right and show unwavering commitment and support for the rights of LGBTQ+ people to live equal and positive lives. #lgbtq #advertising #mediaindustry

It’s Pride month. Let the pride washing commence. Companies that have never spoken about, shared, took a stance on, or took action on LGBTQ+ rights will now be donning the old rainbow flag to cash in on pride month, and tick a diversity box. Even companies that support politicians and parties with poor LGBTQ+ records will throw on a rainbow to get in on the action. We see you. We don’t need “awareness”, everyone’s heard of us. We need action. Here’s an easy win - start publishing how much of your pride month profits you’re donating. #lgbtq #pride #pridewashing
