As we continue celebrating Pride Month, our Pride and Pride & Progress Inclusion Networks have created a special 10-minute podcast sharing personal experiences of travelling as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Listen to our podcast and share your comments
In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, colleagues reflect on how travel can be both exciting and complex. They discuss researching destinations to understand local attitudes and safety considerations, places where they’ve felt welcomed and able to be themselves, and occasions where they’ve adapted their behaviour while travelling due to concerns about acceptance.
The podcast also highlights positive experiences of inclusion and allyship from around the world, moments that made colleagues feel seen, supported and celebrated. Alongside sharing practical advice for younger LGBTQIA+ colleagues travelling for the first time, our speakers explore what gives them hope for the future of LGBTQIA+ inclusion globally and the progress still being made.
We’d encourage everyone to take time to listen, learn and reflect on the diverse experiences.
