For the last three years, I've seen a booth from my employer go up at PRIDE, and coworkers of mine interact with the crowd. Coming after working for more than 9 years for a serious bigot, I still find the idea of an employer that actually supports LGBTQIA+ employees to be strange. They even marched in the parade!
It makes me feel good. That, and the policy that says people can use the restroom of the gender that most closely aligns with who they are. And the LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group. And the Diversity Advisory Committee. Add to that us being permitted to put our pronouns on our e-mail signature block, and it's a pretty friendly place to work.
It's pretty cool to work for an organization that values people regardless of their social pedigree, their racial group, their marital status, gender, gender identity, or sex.
