Why Support LGBTQIAPN+ Businesses?

1️⃣ Economic Empowerment
Australian LGBTQIAPN+ households collectively control an estimated $10 billion in annual disposable income. Supporting queer businesses not only uplifts the community but also connects you with loyal, values-driven consumers.

2️⃣ Promoting Equality & Inclusion
Supporting LGBTQIAPN+ businesses breaks down barriers, providing fair opportunities for success and fostering diversity, innovation, and satisfaction in the workplace.

3️⃣ Strengthening Community
Queer-owned businesses often create safe spaces for LGBTQIAPN+ individuals, providing resources, visibility, and belonging. Your support helps these spaces thrive.

4️⃣ Corporate Social Responsibility
Companies prioritising LGBTQIAPN+ inclusion build trust and loyalty with consumers. Studies show queer-friendly businesses see up to 2.3x higher profitability (Open for Business, 2024).

5️⃣ Driving Social Change
Visibility reduces stigma. Supporting queer businesses encourages broader societal acceptance and inclusion, creating a fairer world for everyone.
