Striving for Inclusion and Acceptance [beyond Tolerance]
Listed below is a worldwide news feed that shows the progress and challenges towards inclusion and acceptance within the sports world.
Nothing has more impact on the LGBTQ+ community than an organization that displays the rainbow colors during June Pride month.
GLRF ad in Rowing News magazine, issue 4
The logo challenge is important because of the impact social media has on the rowing community. Every social view, be it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, a blog, or a website, that showcases a rainbow infused logo, tells the visitor this organization values and supports the LGBTQ+ community.
