The wedding and event industry must learn the appropriate language to use when working with LGBTQIA2S+ couples to better understand the history and evolution of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We must reimagine the institution of marriage by understanding and educating ourselves about genders, pronouns, and the importance of being aware of inclusively when working with LGBTQIA2S+ couples. As allies in the wedding and event industry, we must acquire knowledge to support and uphold inclusivity standards that allow us to be aware, authentic, and accountable to LGBTQIA2S+ couples.

Setting standards with consistency, leading by example creating a safe space and place for LGBTQIA2S+ couples and colleagues.
