As Pride season comes to a close, in this frank and inspiring podcast Richard Thompson and Mark O'Grady reflect on what Pride month means to them and the impact of Pride tokenism or ‘Pinkwashing’. How does it feel for two out and proud gay men when rainbow coloured logos, products and messaging appear pretty much everywhere in June only to disappear again for the rest of the year? It’s hard not to be skeptical about the authenticity of the sentiment. However, it does keep the conversation moving and hopefully acts as a catalyst for real change. Find out more from Mark and Richard’s podcast about what you can do to create a sustained win-win: championing your LGBTQ+ employees; becoming stronger allies; committing to Pride-related inclusion all year round - over the rainbow.
