Unfortunately, you\u2019re wrong. Everyone has natural unconscious biases based on their background, upbringing and experiences. The trick here is to try to understand and reduce yours as much as possible. In this context the best thing to do is to try to get to know your LGBTQ+ colleagues better. Diversifying your network and spending more time with others with different backgrounds and characteristics will help to broaden your perspective and reduce implicit assumptions. However, be patient if they don\u2019t seem receptive to this straight away\u2014if they\u2019ve had bad experiences before, then you may need to earn their trust.\r\n\r\nRemember not to ask personal questions. If you want to understand more about something then wait for more information to be offered, or try to find out via another means, rather than being intrusive.\r\n\r\nAnd, if a colleague confides in you, react sensitively. Keep in mind that it isn\u2019t about you or how you feel about what you\u2019re hearing. The most important thing is to really listen.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-14059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-638493478-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Woman laughing with arms folded, men in the background\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Use language carefully","content":"<h2><strong>Use language carefully<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAn easy way to be supportive is to put your pronouns in your email signature.

This will make LGBTQ+ colleagues feel more comfortable sharing their own, when they\u2019re ready to.\r\n\r\nBe careful to keep greetings neutral. Something like, \u2018Hi team,\u2019 is more appropriate than, \u2018Hi guys,\u2019 which could risk making some people feel excluded. Equally, avoid stereotypes. Don\u2019t assume that someone will like or dislike something just based on their gender identity or sexual orientation."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Take a stand","content":"<h2><strong>Take a stand<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWondering how to be an LGBTQ+ ally at work, rather than just a bystander?

This isn\u2019t an easy thing to do, but it\u2019s an important one. LGBTQ+ people don\u2019t always feel able to speak up for themselves, but it\u2019s essential to shut down even the smallest of comments before it grows into a bigger issue. Find out what the reporting procedures are in your workplace and if you witness anything, use them.
