LinkedIn Top Voices LGBTQIA+: 10 UK creators to follow
The inaugural LinkedIn Top Voices LGBTQIA+ list for the UK highlights 10 thought leaders within the community who are sharing insightful content and shaping conversations about inclusivity and diversity.
With the number of people identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community rising – particularly among Gen Z – inclusion and representation in the workplace is increasingly important.
Today, LinkedIn News UK debuts our Top Voices LGBTQIA+ – a collection of 10 thought leaders shaping conversations about prioritising inclusivity throughout Pride month and beyond. From advocating for diverse communities and breaking down how to build an inclusive business, to celebrating UK queer history and teaching workplaces how to avoid "pinkwashing", these creators are sparking meaningful conversations about issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community, both inside and outside the office. Check out and follow the creators that speak to your interests and stay updated on their latest insights in your LinkedIn feed.
While this is our latest Top Voices list, it joins a family of features highlighting creators in areas ranging from sustainability and career success, to the next generation of workers. All Top Voices lists are editorially curated by the LinkedIn News UK team and highlight the creators to follow who are writing and sharing about today’s important workplace, career and industry topics. You can find more about how we compiled the list and who is eligible to be a Top Voice at the bottom of this article.

How we compile the list
Top Voices is a series of lists that have been editorially curated by the LinkedIn News UK team, with the goal of highlighting creators to follow who are covering the chosen segments and/or topics. To compile each list, editors consider each individual’s content on LinkedIn. Specifically: Are they covering the topic at hand on a regular basis? Are their contributions insightful, conversational and timely? Have they built up and engaged with their communities? Do they seek to give and get help vs. being self-promotional? We aim to highlight a diverse set of voices, so that the list reflects the world we live and work in today.
