The month of June marks Pride month, dedicated to uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices, celebrating their culture, and supporting LGBTQIA+ rights. But the LGBTQIA+ community needs our support throughout the year, not just a single month in the year. Regardless of your gender identity and sexual preference, anyone can support the LGBTQIA+ cause by being an ally. Here is a guide on how to be a better LGBTQIA+ ally.
Listen, learn and educate yourself.
Don't assume.
Check your privilege.
Use the right language.
Confront your own prejudices.
Be an ally in action.
Be wary of pinkwashing.
Apologise when you mess up.
