Scenario

When you're the only out queer person leading workplace inclusion efforts

My work team launched this big LGBTQ+ inclusion initiative and I'm the only openly queer person, so everyone keeps looking to me to validate their efforts, but honestly some of it feels performative and I don't know how to say that without becoming the difficult one or having to speak for all queer people. We're supposed to be collaborating but I feel like I'm carrying something alone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Someone is being asked to represent an entire community in organizational change while managing the isolation and pressure of being the sole visible queer voice.
