I work for a large multinational that just removed all of its LGBTQ+ things. Nothing on the website anymore, nothing internally. Just poof, gone like it never existed. It feels like we are going back too medieval times…
I am not part of the LGBTQ+ community but I just wanted to say too anyone who feels let down by these big organizations: I still support you, my colleagues still support you. You are still welcome and accepted by many. We will continue fighting for you.
I don’t know, just wanted to say that.
It is becoming increasingly clear to me that big organizations will not save us. Governments are corruptible. Corporations follow the money and little else. That does not mean we are lost, though. It means we are going to have to do this ourselves. And we can.
Take care of yourself. Take care of those near you. Network with other good people as much as you can. Give help and receive help. Person to person is how we’re going to get through this.
