We have lanyards in stock that we can offer to staff and students.
LGBTQ+ lanyards are used as a symbol of support for the LGBTQ+ community and are worn to show solidarity, raise awareness, and promote inclusivity. The design of our lanyards incorporates the progressive flag, a symbol widely recognised as representing the diversity and inclusivity of our LGBTQ+ community.
What it represents?
- Support for LGBTQ+ Rights: Wearing an LGBT lanyard can signal that the wearer supports equal rights for LGBTQ+ individuals, including rights related to marriage, employment, healthcare, and protection from discrimination.
- Visibility and Inclusivity: The progress flag, featured on our LGBT lanyards, symbolizes the broad spectrum of sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions within the LGBTQ+ community, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (or questioning) people, as well as others in the community (like intersex, asexual, etc.).
- Pride and Identity: The lanyard is often worn during Pride Month (June) or at Pride events as a display of pride and identity. It helps create a visible presence of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.
- Safe Spaces: Lanyards may also indicate that a person or organisation is a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals, meaning they are open, welcoming, and non-judgmental. It helps people know where they can be their authentic selves without fear of discrimination or harassment.
In essence, LGBT lanyards are small but powerful symbols of acceptance, visibility, and solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community.
