Macro Mike is Celebrating Inclusivity this Pride Month!

Posted on Jun 5, 2023 by Macro Mike

This year Macro Mike will be dedicating the entire month of June to Pride Month by celebrating inclusivity for all. We are proud to be supporting LBGTIQ+ Health Australia by donating $2 for every order made in the month of June.

What does Pride Month mean to us?

Pride is a reminder of the importance of self-love, self-acceptance, and standing up for what is right. Pride is about embracing one's true identity and being proud of who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is a time to celebrate diversity, inclusivity and to showcase the strength and resilience of the LGBTIQ+ community. It is a time to commemorate and celebrate the lives of those who have lost theirs to HIV/Aids. Pride month is a time to come together and honour the struggles and sacrifices that have been made to achieve the progress we have today, while also acknowledging the work that still needs to be done. It is a time to celebrate progress, but also to commit to continuing the fight for equality and justice for all.

As a company, we want to celebrate Pride Month to show our support of not only our LQBTIQ+ community but to show inclusivity of all our communities. Love comes in all shapes, genders, colours and sizes, and
we want everyone to be proud of where they come from, who they love,
and showcase self-love every single day. We want to overcome the stereotype and standards set by society of what is right and wrong when it comes to love, body image, or what we identify as. Be bold this Pride Month, be proud of who you truly are and where you come from. Be proud of how far you have come. At the end of the day, love is love, nobody can take that away from you.

What is Macro Mike doing to support Pride Month?

This year we want to recognise the incredible work of LGBTIQ+ Health Australia and everything they do to support our community. Their vision is to create an Australia, and a world free from prejudice and bias where all individuals, regardless of their sexuality, gender, or physical diversity, can live healthy and happy lives. Unfortunately, due to persistent discrimination, exclusion and social isolation, LGBTIQ+ Australians experience poorer health outcomes compared to the rest of the population. These factors can adversely affect their physical and mental well-being. Additionally, the diverse needs of LGBTIQ+ people are not being adequately addressed in policy, research and services. We are proud to be donating $2 from every order in the month of June to LGBTIQ+ Health Australia.

By supporting Pride Month we hope to help raise awareness, show our support for inclusivity and raise money for an incredible cause.

We proudly made a significant contribution of $12,000 to support LGBTIQ+ Health Australia, reaffirming our commitment to promoting inclusivity and well-being for all.
