As we come to the end of October 2021, Symmetra can mark together with our many LGBTIQ friends and colleagues, the passing of a noteworthy month celebrating the achievements of those who belong to this community. The observance was first suggested by a Missouri school teacher in 1994 .
The idea of a month-long tribute to this group long- demeaned and discriminated against has proven to be invaluable both in awareness-raising as well as an opportunity for those in the community to come out in pride and solidarity. Although at first it was mainly a call to assert the rights of LGBTIQ people in the face of active or implicit hostility it has now evolved into an acknowledgement of the achievements and contributions of skilled and talented LGBTIQ people in all walks of life and across a multitude of work , social, cultural and sporting activities.
