Every year, the month of June now comes associated with the colours of the rainbow. It鈥檚 celebrated as Pride Month to commemorate the struggle for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

In recent years, companies big and small have used the occasion to release creative campaigns focused on LGBTQ+ people. While the recognition is a welcome step forward, many from the LGBTQ+ community wonder if there is any real acceptance.

So, do these companies simply cash in on moment marketing? Are they guilty of rainbow washing, or are they really making meaningful change? Should brands avoid the rainbow onslaught and come up with strategies throughout the year? And what about looking inwards to see if their policies are inclusive or discriminatory?

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how brands can avoid rainbow washing.
