Not sure I put them on as elegantly as possible but I do love my new rainbow laces :)

(If you’re in Ireland you can get your own pair at SuperValu. All proceeds go to Belong To – LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland.)

⚡ #StandUp23 ⚡

Today is day 1 of Stand Up Awareness Week – #BelongTo's annual LGBTQ+ anti-bullying campaign.

➡️
https://www.belongto.org/standup/

This year's focus is allies: In recent years, attacks on LGBTQ+ people have increased, and we see increasing levels of hate directed towards young LGBTQ+ people.

Against this backdrop, it is more important than ever for allies to stand up and show their support for the LGBTQ+ community.
