Tell LGBTQ people you have their backs

Put some thought into how you'll handle tough situations under pressure, and tell your people that you're prepared to stand up for what's right.

Project 2025 equates "transgender ideology" with "pornography" and says it should be punished with prison.

In a time of political repression, support means:

  • Not pretending you don't know your LGBTQ colleague
  • Not attempting to hide their identity, if they're open about it
  • Not quietly deleting material from your website just because it mentions sexuality or gender
  • Not turning over names and personal data of queer people, should the government ever demand it

Put some thought into how you'll handle tough situations under pressure, and tell your people you're prepared to stand up for what's right. You can keep it simple. Just say you won't comply in advance (and mean it).
