6. How Your People Identify Matters. Here's How To Find Out
Update: 2022-02-21
Description
People need to learn about the prevalence of a group before they care about them.
And here’s the thing: Queer people exist everywhere. You may not realize that because there is often a lack of safety for us to be forthcoming about who we are, including not being asked.
But if we’re not counted, then we don’t count.
Plus, the whole “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” thing is soooo 1990s.
So if you want to increase inclusion at your organization, it’s essential to have an appropriate way to ask about LGBTQ+ identities when collecting demographic info.
On this ep, I break down:
- Reasons companies often omit LGBTQ+ identities when asking demographic info
- How LGBTQ+ people are relevant to all organizations, even if you think we aren’t for yours
- Wrong ways that people sometimes ask someone if they’re LGBTQ+, and ways to do it better
