During Pride month, many corporations and "allies" enthusiastically showcase their support, donning rainbows and sponsoring LGBTQ+ events. But once July 1st rolls around, the vibrant displays of pro-LGBTQ+ sentiments often fade from their workplaces, leaving questions about the depth of their commitment to inclusivity.
In this episode, we’re addressing “performative allyship,” a form of superficial activism that focuses on the appearance of allyship rather than meaningful action, and discussing how “allies” can and should do better.
