Panel Discussion & Reception: Religious and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion at work

Pride at Work Canada’s ProPride is returning to Toronto, to bring community and business leaders together. This panel discussion, organized by Pride at Work Canada with the support of Rainbow Faith & Freedom, will delve into the intersections of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, creed, and religion at work. Religious and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are often portrayed as separate communities, while both experience being told that they are not appropriate in the workplace. It is also common that 2SLGBTQIA+ people of faith are marginalized by both their religious communities and the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Yet our religious beliefs, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression are all core parts of who people are and, to create true workplace belonging, all have to be respected. Join us for this important discussion that looks at allyship within and between equity-deserving groups. The panel will be followed by a lively networking reception bringing together 2SLGBTQIA+ employees, job seekers, and employers committed to belonging at work.
