LGBT+ History Month is an annual observance that takes place in February in the United Kingdom. It is a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) people, as well as to raise awareness of the ongoing struggles and discrimination that they face.
Welcome to Inclusion Bites Watch! In this episode, we reflect on LGBTQ+ individuals serving in the Armed Forces with our guest speaker. Joanne Lockwood served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) at a time when the military wasn't a welcoming and accepting environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Today, she shares her experiences and thoughts on the ongoing fight for justice and recognition of past wrongs.
“Workplace allies” are people who are willing to personally align themselves with colleagues to make sure they're heard and included. When most employees are confronted with the problems of discrimination, harassment, and other bad behaviour at work, they assume that their job is limited to their own behaviour.
