As the celebration of pride continues onward, One thing is apparent. Many companies who don’t authentically support the movement are indirectly benefiting from the festivities and foot traffic generated by the community. This is where performative action comes into play where some companies who are normally passive towards the LGBTQIA+ community slap a pride flag on their storefronts and colorize their logos to welcome profit, while doing absolutely nothing to benefit or help a community they would normally repress.
As movement experts, we know how important it is to support a movement for the right reasons but only if that support is met with action. Internally, we don’t just talk about inclusivity, we are continually evolving by creating equitable ways of entry in our hiring practices as well as making sure that every voice is heard and uplifted for our education and betterment.
