Allyship
To be an LGBT+ ally is easy. All you must do is agree in equality and fair treatment, and passionately stand up for the rights of the LGBT+ community. If you already do this, then you are an ally, and if not now is the time to learn how to advocate for the LGBT+ community. Our roster of allyship speakers are all experts in creating awareness and acceptance of the LGBT+ community, advocating for the abolishment of discrimination against the LGBT+ community. If you want to learn how to become an LGBT+ ally, book an allyship speaker today.
Book an allyship speaker for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, on the 17th of May, or for Ally Week, the last week of September.
