Quotes
- In workplaces, if you're celebrating LGBTQ plus History Month, it's vital to consider these intersections.
- Having an intersectional identity often generates a feeling that someone does not completely belong in one group or another, and can lead to isolation and mental ill health
- Part of taking this intersectional approach is to recognise people's lives are multi-dimensional and complex.
- Consider who you choose to speak at events.
- Have a specific event or topic on LGBTQ+ identities, if this is new in your organisation, and if it's established, integrate it.
