Ride With Pride
So my employer has an "Equality & Inclusivity" policy. This includes training for all staff and staff networks for BAME, Women, Faith, Disabilty and LGBT.
As part of Pride month the LGBT staff network will be sponsoring a float at Pride. It has also got Pride Rainbow vinyl decals on a couple of buses, DLR trains and even Hackney cabs. To promote "Ride With Pride" within the company all corporate accounts had their desktops temporarily changed to a poster about "Ride With Pride" today.
So far I've experienced a mass email sent out by someone who works at a different site complaining. Saying that it's a waste of company resources and he doesn't want it thrust down his throat. I have also experienced a colleague just booking on complaining to me directly. I pointing out the corporate E & I policy. That at other times the desktop has been changed for both women in industry and black history month.
So it both seems that the diversity training isn't doing its job and that my colleague not only being an idiot in relation to our equality policy. He also either doesn't know any better to bitch about it in front of a gay man or more worryingly doesn't realise I'm gay.
