Today is Wear it Purple Day, and we have one special message we’re sending far and wide to LGBTQIA+ young people: YOUR IDENTITY IS AWESOME. You can champion LGBTQIA+ youth every day of the year by starting conversations, taking action and be visible in your pride and allyship.

@DrBLLINGSLP and I wrote a piece together interrogating social justice in speech and language therapy. This is an edited version of our medium article from last year. Thank you @UniRdg_CeLM for publishing it without any editorial cuts 😊😉
