The professional network recently held a virtual event featuring Karamo Brown of Queer Eye, who said during the event, “The spirit of Pride is empathy, education and equality. It’s about people saying, ‘I want equality and deserve equality.’ It’s about asking people to be empathetic to our experiences, and to understand what we’re going through, so that you can join our fight. I mean, we just saw yesterday where the Supreme Court finally said, ‘Yeah, we can’t fire you because you’re gay.’ I want people to think about that. Yesterday, people finally said, ‘We can’t fire you because you’re gay.’ That means that we should still be in a space of understanding. That as we’re going to Pride and we’re celebrating where we’ve come from, we’re also educating ourselves on where we need to go and having empathy as allies and as members of the community ourselves, and continuing to try to stride and fight.”
