Your business can join the more than 190,000 businesses globally that have already enabled the “LGBTQ-friendly” and “Transgender Safe Space” attribute. For example, Corey Miller, the owner of Corey’s Bakery & Catering in Palm Harbor, FL, has added the LGBTQ-friendly attribute to his listing on Google to “let it be known that all are welcome without any questions.” He explains, “People feel welcome without a need to second-guess being treated equally.” These attributes appear on a business’ Google listing on Maps and Search. Business owners can mark their businesses as “LGBTQ-friendly” and as a “Transgender Safe Space” on their Google listing to let customers know they’re always welcome. One way to do this is with small businesses, which are an important part of any community. The 2022 Pride Parade will be on June 26 at 2pm Registrations to the 2022’s Parade and StreetFair are still open. We want to help celebrate those spaces of belonging and make them easier to find. Pride Toronto is a not-for-profit organization that supports the 2SLGBTQ+ communities of our city and beyond. Finding those spaces has often been hard for the LGBTQ+ community. There’s little that compares to the feeling of walking into a place and being immediately comfortable-your shoulders loosen, your breathing slows, you physically relax, knowing you can be yourself.
