As we approach pride month (June), this news stings. Aimee Stephens passed today. She was fired from her job when she told her boss she was transgender. The Supreme Court is due to rule on her case this week. One of her last acts was to write a public letter to America’s employers urging them to: 1. Implement clear non-discrimination policies 2. Ensure equitable bathroom usage 3. Cover transition-related medical care 4. Educate leaders and respect those outside of the gender binary and those who are transitioning. (Including something as basic as eye contact.) "You have the ability to create and expand spaces where we belong – both at work and in our communities: When LGBTQ people are dehumanized, when our civil rights and our well-being are threatened by anti-LGBTQ legislation, companies have the power to blunt these attacks." This is what it means to support the LGBTQ community next month, not just rainbow-covered social media activations. RIP Aimee.
