that's right better with a prop
(Offscreen)I wondered where you were looking (laughter)

Rainbow youth can be a particularly vulnerable and
disadvantaged group of people the more
people we have standing in solidarity
with that group and the more voices we
can lend to strengthen their own voices
the better lots of young people are
really good advocates for themselves but
they also need to know that they can be
in an environment where they're
supported I think that youth can be a
difficult time for many people and it
can be particularly hard if you feel
that there's something different about
you that won't be accepted by society
there are times when you do feel very
alone being a queer person I know that
when I was young it was difficult I
struggled with my own identity and my
sexuality it's a very difficult time
there's a lot of pressures the last
thing people need is not to feel
accepted and supported as they find
their way in the world I've got a son
who's transgender and he mainly stays at
home and hasn't found a way to engage in
work or study yet I hope that when he
overcomes his barriers he's able to find
an environment that's supportive and if
I can help provide that environment for
someone else's son or daughter and
that's really important to me we have a
responsibility to create spaces that are
safe for our youth that are places where
they feel empowered where they feel
they're able to be themselves and where
they feel included promoting inclusion
of LGBTI plus youth means these young
people can grow up without shame or
bullying
and instead put their energy towards
achieving their goals just like their peers
peers inclusion to m in the workplace
means that I can come in every single
day and be myself accepting everyone for
who they are and respecting them and
about being professional and none of
those are actually negotiable I think
wear it purple day is like a perfect
example of where something small can
show a huge amount of support inclusion
in the workplace means that you don't
have to hide and you don't have to spend
your energy dealing with bad or
thoughtless behavior people's lives are
rough enough as it is outside of work so
I think the last place you want to feel
unsafe and interrogated is in the
workplace as a manager's point of view I
like a diversity of views and a
diversity of backgrounds and so that's
something that I would say you actively
should try to promote within your team's
seeing people in senior positions
embracing diversity is really important
inclusion is about enabling everyone to
be confident in who they are and making
sure people can make the best possible
contribution to our place our community
and most importantly to who they are
themselves
I think we can ensure people are
included by having these kinds of
conversations if there's an event at
work in an LGBTQI event then it's not
just for that community it's for
everyone and you should involve yourself
in it being visible as a leader in my
support and as a champion within the
department and I'd encourage everyone to
do the same to support our colleagues
and visibly show that we do so one of
the things that I do because it's
important to my son is I put my pronouns
in my signature block I set up the pride
and allies Network in 2017 my goal for
that was to make sure that LGBTIQA+
people felt like they were included
within the department that they could
bring their full selves to work we need
to make sure that everyone at the
department feels included everyone feel
safe everyone feels like they can come
to work without the extra anxiety of if
I am Who I am that made people react to
me differently will that make people not
accept me will that make my work day
harder yeah you're gonna be able to come
to work and just be your authentic self
and just be able to perform at your best
and I think if there are great allies
around you then you can feel more
comfortable just to be here and not you
know have to worry about being judged or
threatened in any way LGBTI+ I plus people
are usually the minority in their
workplaces
so having allies is important LGBTI+
people might not feel empowered to call
out bad jokes ask for a change in
policies or correct someone when they use the
wrong pronouns we should be open to
listen and learn from our colleagues
about their experiences and try not to
make assumptions about people's
lifestyles because this is about giving
people confidence that they can be who
they are and making sure people feel
safe in who they want to be n
