Words hold extraordinary power – they make us feel seen, heard, and valued. Unfortunately, most people are at a loss for words when addressing the #LGBTQIA+ community with respect. It's not a language barrier, but a matter of rediscovering respectful terms that have always existed in our languages. #WordsOfPride is an advocacy initiative by Disney Star, created with language experts from the queer community. It is a glossary of terms to create a more inclusive world. The world is evolving; it’s time our words do too. Visit www.wordsofpride.com to know more.
