DESCRIPTION:

In recognition of Pride Month, Alliance Data’s PRIDE Alliance Business Resource Group (BRG) hosted a virtual educational event open to all associates called The Gender Unicorn: Gender & Sexuality 101. In partnership with The Kaleidoscope Youth Center, the event explored the complexity and depth of topics such as gender identity, gender expression and sex assigned at birth, sexuality and the LGBTQIA+ acronym. Participants were also able to practice using personal gender pronouns correctly and learn what words to avoid. Open to all associates regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, the PRIDE Alliance provides educational initiatives, networking opportunities and volunteer events, and is part of Alliance Data’s ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
