Not only is Pride Month a time to celebrate diversity, acceptance and inclusivity, it is also a time to amplify LGBTQ+ voices, educate ourselves on LGBTQ+ history, and raise awareness of the societal issues that continue to face the LGBTQ+ community.

At One Beyond, we are proud to be an LGBTQ+ inclusive workplace, offering our full support to anyone who needs it and encouraging every one of our team to be the best possible version of themselves. After all, we’re all people before we’re employees.

With this in mind, and as Pride Month is a true celebration of diversity, we asked our team ‘What does Pride Month mean to you?’ Here are some of the responses:

 

“A fight for the visibility of a collective shut down over the past centuries.”
