Have you ever heard of "rainbow washing"? Rainbow washing is when brands and organizations make a show of discussing LGBTQ+-related topics, usually only during Pride Month, and without making meaningful change in their workplaces to actually support the LGBTQ+ community. It's performative, not real allyship. So how can we make sure we aren't rainbow washing our workplaces? First, we should focus LGBTQ+ issues all year long, not just during Pride Month. Second, we must keep in mind that the LGBTQ+ community is very diverse, which means the types of issues and types of support they might require are also diverse. Finally, and most importantly, we must get feedback from members of the LGBTQ+ community in our workplaces on what support they are lacking, and then make actual change. This includes changes to recruiting and hiring, as well as the actual work environment. And we must get continual feedback from them to make sure that they are included in our workplaces.
