What Does It Really Mean to Lead with Queer Integrity—Right Now?

Every day, it feels like there's an ever-increasing effort to scapegoat and silence LGBTQ identities.

“We are witnessing a harrowing regression, particularly for trans people. Their basic rights—identification, healthcare, safety—are being stripped away. It’s not just dignity and opportunity being denied—it’s the ability to envision a future. And once trans people are told they are not permitted to dream of a whole life, we know it won’t stop there. The rest of us in the LGB community are next in line.”

What Fabrice Houdart recently opined is not hyperbole.

The question is, What can WE do about it?

This is a shared problem that we must embrace as an unacceptable reality that only WE can solve.

We cannot afford to be fractured as a community. We must embrace humility and recognize the value in each of us—even those who seek to silence who we are.

This goal requires transformation—specifically transformational leadership empowered by queer integrity.

Leading with queer integrity means refusing to separate your truth from your leadership—by thinking critically, acting with conviction, and creating meaningful change rooted in dignity, for yourself and for others.

But how do you reconcile the complexity of honouring ethical, transformational leadership when you feel like you’re constantly navigating injustice—without burning out and losing your compassion, conviction, and peace of mind?

That’s precisely why I created my free 7-day coaching program, Empower Your Leadership with Queer Integrity—to help you lead authentically, clarify what matters most, and create meaningful change that honours your energy and ethics.

The free program starts on Saturday, May 24 inside my private group, Leading with Queer Integrity. Join a community of thoughtful, values-driven LGBTQ+ leaders who lead with conviction, purpose, and pride.
