Workplaces are often dominated by narrow norms that exclude #LGBTIQ+ people who are from racial, ethnic & religious minorities, exposing them to discrimination. Support your LGBTIQ+ colleagues, #FightRacism at work & advance truly inclusive & diverse workplaces.

Isolation is one of the biggest challenges faced by older #LGBTIQ+ people – often because of family and community rejection. All older people should be included and able to participate in their communities.

We’ve made great strides towards #equality, but too many countries still retain outdated, discriminatory and repressive laws that lead to violence against people with diverse sexual orientations or gender identities. Demand justice and protection for all! #ABCofLGBTIQ+ #LGBTIQ+

The ABC of LGBTIQ+ is easier than you think! The Q stands for #Queer. Queer has been used as a slur against LGBTIQ+ people, but some are reclaiming the word as their own! Learn more this week. #ABCofLGBTIQ+ #LGBTIQ+

Living life openly as your true self is something most people take for granted, but for #trans people this can be dangerous because they face hostility, discrimination and violence. Let’s create a world where everyone is safe to be themselves. #ABCofLGBTIQ+ #LGBTIQ+

Did you know?. Discrimination in healthcare settings prevents #bisexual people from seeking medical services they need, leading to poorer mental & physical health outcomes. Healthcare should be inclusive for all – #bi people included!. #ABCofLGBTIQ+ #LGBTIQ+

Discrimination and negative stereotypes make it really hard for #bi people to disclose their sexual orientation - even to their family and friends. Let’s build a world where everyone is free to be themselves – #bisexual people included!. #LGBTIQ+ #ABCofLGBTIQ+
