During Pride Month, the contrast between corporate rainbow logos and authentic support for LGBTQ+ individuals becomes glaring. For queer individuals, especially in design and tech, the need for empathy transcends mere skill; it’s rooted in survival amidst a world that often excludes them. As LGBTQ+ rights face setbacks both in the US and worldwide, inclusive design practices become more critically important. The experiences of marginalized communities must inform design choices, making this an urgent topic as expressions of support become more commonplace yet less sincere.
Pride Month serves as both a celebration and a time for reflection on progress and ongoing struggles for the LGBTQ+ community, highlighting the importance of sincerity in corporate engagement.
Empathy in design is not only a skill but a survival tool for LGBTQ+ individuals, shaped by the need to navigate a world often unwelcoming or unsafe.
