Scroll down for the answer... --------------------------------------------------------------- PRIDE MONTH 6 Inclusive Design Tips for Supporting the Queer Community With Pride month coming up, it’s time for designers to look inward and ask: What are we doing to create a more welcoming world for queer people? Here are five tips to ensure your designs stay inclusive: 1. Use Diverse Imagery Include graphics and photos that represent people from various LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. This helps all users feel seen and valued. 2. Offer Pronoun Options Allow users to list their pronouns in forms, ensuring they feel respected and acknowledged. 3. Provide Editable Profiles Make it easy for users to change their names and edit their profiles, preventing distressing experiences like deadnaming. 4. Go Beyond the Gender Binary When gender information is necessary, offer options beyond male and female. For example, include a non-binary option. 5. Use Gender-Neutral Terms Replace gendered terms with inclusive language. For example, use "parent" instead of "mother" or "father." 6. Avoid Stereotypical Imagery Steer clear of using colors or symbols traditionally associated with specific genders, such as blue for boys and pink for girls.
