Why do we need LGBTQ keynote speakers?
A lack of acceptance and inclusivity often leads to a breakdown in our teams and communities. Hosting an LGBTQ speaker will inspire positive change and the creation of inclusive spaces. Consider hiring a speaker for an event focussed on:
- International Transgender Day of Visibility (March)
- Lesbian Visibility Day (April)
- International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (May)
- Pride Month (June)
- Bisexual Awareness Week (September)
- National Coming Out Day (October 11)
- LGBTQ History Month (February in the UK, October in the US)
- Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) (November 20)
Our experienced roster of LGBTQ speakers is available to help you raise awareness and inspire a better, more diverse, and inclusive world. Interested? Email us at hello@getapeptalk.com for information on these speakers, LGBTQ event themes, and more.
The final word, however, goes to Lady Gaga: “Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.”
