LGBTQ+ Inclusive Communication

LGBTQ+ Services

Moving Beyond Rainbow Marketing to Build Real Trust

Most organizations know they should be more inclusive.But knowing and doing are two different things.Surface-level changes, adding pronouns to email signatures, rainbow logos in June, or generic "we welcome everyone" statements, aren't enough. LGBTQ+ communities can tell the difference between performative allyship and authentic inclusion.The difference is in the details.

What Authentic LGBTQ+ Inclusive Communication Looks Like

It's not about:

  • Adding rainbow graphics to existing materials

  • Using buzzwords without understanding their impact

  • One-size-fits-all diversity statements

  • Checking boxes for compliance

It is about:

  • Language that creates genuine psychological safety

  • Understanding the specific concerns of LGBTQ+ audiences

  • Trauma-informed messaging that builds trust over time

  • Communications that make people feel seen, not just 'welcomed'"

How I Help Organizations Get It Right

Healthcare & Medical Communication

Transform your patient experience from clinical and cold to warm and welcoming.

Services include:

  • Patient intake forms that respect diverse identities and family structures

  • Website copy that signals competence in LGBTQ+ healthcare needs

  • Staff communication protocols and training materials

  • Educational resources that address real concerns, not generic wellness

Example transformation:
Instead of 'Tell us about your sexual history,' try 'Help us understand what sexual health support might be helpful for you.

Workplace & HR Communication

Create authentic belonging in your workplace, not just compliance checkmarks.

Services include:

  • Employee handbooks with inclusive language and clear policies

  • Benefits communication that acknowledges diverse family structures

  • DEI training materials that go beyond surface-level awareness

  • Internal communications that create belonging, not just compliance

Example transformation:
Instead of 'Bring your spouse to the holiday party,' try 'We'd love to meet the important people in your life at our holiday celebration.'"

Organizations & Nonprofits

Services include:

  • Grant applications that demonstrate authentic community connection

  • Fundraising materials that avoid saviorism or othering language

  • Program descriptions that welcome without tokenizing

  • Website copy that builds trust with LGBTQ+ donors and participants"

Example transformation:

My Process: From Surface-Level to Soul-Deep

1. Inclusion Audit

I review your current materials through an LGBTQ+ lens, identifying language that creates barriers, builds trust, or falls somewhere in between.

2. Stakeholder Conversations

We talk with your team members who are part of LGBTQ+ communities (if they're comfortable) and identify your organization's genuine commitment level.

3. Strategic Messaging Framework

I develop core messaging that reflects authentic understanding, not just good intentions, tailored to your specific audience and industry.

4. Implementation & Training

I create the actual copy, plus guidelines so your team can maintain this authentic voice across all future communications.

Strategic Expertise: I don't just make copy "more inclusive"—I help you build authentic relationships with LGBTQ+ communities that drive business results.Proven Results: My spec work (like the Brink app for later-in-life LGBTQ+ identity discovery) shows how strategic, trauma-informed copy creates genuine connection.
