Pride and Pronouns
The LGBTQ community encompassing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer individuals continues to be at the forefront of major cultural and political discussions around the world. While progress such as marriage equality and anti-discrimination laws has been achieved in many countries, recent years have seen a rise in political backlash, especially around transgender rights, healthcare access, and education policies. In the United States, the UK, and parts of Europe, debates over gender identity, participation in sports, and inclusive curricula have become highly charged issues.
