Tag us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn and use #PrideInHR so we can find your pics. If you do download the backgrounds, make sure to grab a screenshot and share with us on social media. We’ve created these fun Zoom backgrounds for Pride month and made them available for you to download for free so you can also show your support and #PrideInHR! While we don’t know exactly what Pride is going to look like in the future with many employees still working remotely amidst the ongoing pandemic, we do know that there are still plenty of ways we can show our support for our LGBTQ+ peers during Pride Month. Since circumstances are a little different this time around, here are some things your organization can do in order to make the most of Pride from home! While this is great for that reason, it makes celebrating Pride a bit more difficult, as this is a time to rally behind our LGBTQIA+ friends and family, celebrate together, and rejoice in our individuality. However, a lot of us are still working remotely in an effort to keep COVID cases down and to not backtrack on our progress. Remember that supporting the LGBTQIA+ community is so much more than a Pride avatar or a Facebook status.Īs the weeks go on, it can feel like we’re inching closer and closer to normalcy after over a year in isolation due to the pandemic. When a company rainbow washes, they contribute no real value to the marginalized communities that they claim to support. This is when an organization utilizes rainbow imagery and puts up a front that they support the queer community for the sole purpose of profiting off of them. It is absolutely imperative that your organization avoids falling into the trap of rainbow washing. Obviously, this should be a year-long effort, but this month gives us dedicated time to learn about the history of Pride, and an excuse to really go the extra mile in showing our support for our peers and community. Pride Month is just around the corner! June is a time to celebrate and appreciate the LGBTQIA+ community, both within and outside of our organizations.
