# Pride in Practice: Being an Inclusive Business with Queen of To Do

![Picture of Queen of To Do](https://www.queenoftodo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Black-Background-Pink-Crown-Square.png?width=50&name=Black-Background-Pink-Crown-Square.png) [Queen of To Do](https://www.queenoftodo.com/blog/author/queen-of-to-do)

[![In-Blog Landscape Template (2)-3](https://www.queenoftodo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/In-Blog%20Landscape%20Template%20(2)-3.png?width=800&height=244&name=In-Blog%20Landscape%20Template%20(2)-3.png)](https://queenoftodo.com/pride)

At Queen of To Do, we believe Pride isn’t just about showing up in June - it’s about how you show up all year.

We’re sharing what we’re doing behind the scenes to make Queen of To Do a safer, more affirming place for LGBTQIA2S+ clients, collaborators, and our team.

 

**Visibility is important. But it only matters if it’s backed by real action and accountability.**

---

## Inclusivity Starts Before Day One

It starts with the job application. There’s space to share your pronouns early on in the application process - not because it’s trendy, but because it allows us to communicate with applicants in a gender-affirming way and signals the kind of workplace we’re building: one where respect isn’t conditional.

 

This small step has led to our job posts being shared in local LGBTQIA2S+ spaces - a sign we’re building something worth showing up for!

 

---

## Zero-Tolerance Means Zero-Tolerance

It’s not enough to “support” queer folks. We protect them, in writing.

Our **Client Welcome Packet**, **Employee Handbook**, and upcoming **Contractor Agreement** all include firm language about our **zero-tolerance policy for homophobic, transphobic, racist, or other hateful behavior** - from anyone. That includes clients, vendors, and team members.

This isn’t just lip service. If someone crosses a line, the incident is addressed immediately. We don’t flinch when it comes to respecting and protecting marginalized groups.

---

## Pride *Is* Political - and We Act Accordingly

Especially in Texas, where LGBTQIA2S+ rights are under attack, **businesses can’t afford to sit quietly.**

We:

- Provide paid time off for employees to vote in *all* elections (local races are personal).
- Donate a portion of our Pride Month profits to the ACLU, in direct response to harmful anti-trans policies.
- Choose to work with vendors who share our values, even though it takes extra time and intention.

It’s not all talk. Queen of To Do puts it into practice.

---

## Volunteering Is Work - and We Pay for It

This Pride Month, we’re giving our team **paid time off to volunteer** with nonprofits in their communities. Because community care *is* work. And it should be compensated like it.

Whether it’s handing out water at a march, helping with event logistics, or supporting LGBTQIA2S+ youth - we’re proud to make space for that impact.

---

## A Work in Progress - Not an Afterthought

We’re not perfect. We’re a small but growing team, and like many startups, we’re still building some of our DEI infrastructure. But we’re not waiting until everything is “done” to start doing the right thing, and when we make mistakes, we vow to grow from them.

Pride Month is a timely reminder that inclusion isn’t a milestone, but rather **a mindset.** And we’re committed to showing up, learning, adjusting, and protecting our people along the way.

---

## Pride Is the Practice

Pride in practice means:

- Protecting your people in writing.
- Prioritizing values over convenience.
- Making space for joy *and* justice.

We’ll never stop trying to do it better. Because it’s the right thing to do.
