FOR a few weeks in the height of summer, the corporate and municipal world is draped in a rainbow flag. Events like Leeds Pride – which is Yorkshire’s biggest celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans life – are attracting a growing army of corporate sponsors as more employers become aware of the need to create workplaces where everyone can be true to themselves.The growing list of corporate names supporting Pride shows that the battle for hearts and minds in the corporate world is being won. However, the need for tolerance must be preached all the year round. The wider world is not always such a welcoming place. People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender can face violence and abuse whenever they leave their front door. The levels of online abuse they face are truly chilling.
