To celebrate and commemorate Pride Month, consider a panel discussion on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the LGBTQ community. Instead, you can create new and innovative ways to celebrate Pride and promote diversity, equality and acceptance. Couple that with the fact that many workplaces remain 100% or mostly remote, and Pride Month 2020 is bound to look different this year.īut just because the celebration may be virtual does not mean employers should miss this opportunity to boost morale and provide support to the LGBTQ community.
In fact, more than 475 Pride-related events have been cancelled or postponed. While states have begun the process of reopening amid the coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic, many events – including the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) parades in honor of Pride Month scheduled for June – remain cancelled.
