\"LGBTQIA+<\/span><\/p>\n

Source: Restaurants in North America that identify as LGBTQIA+ friendly.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Outside of PRIDE offerings, though, restaurants should be mindful of rainbow-washing. Being a truly inclusive space needs to be more meaningful than hanging a PRIDE flag out for a month. It also means more than gender-neutral bathrooms. Rather, it starts with things you may not see, but that you can feel, like the ethos of the brand and its employees. And it ends with actions the community can count on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNow more than ever <\/span>all<\/span><\/i> businesses need to be intentional in the work they do to create inclusive spaces. We are all better together and businesses should lead in this process,\u201d says Jeremy Edmonds, director of people at <\/span>Snooze An A.M. Eatery<\/span><\/a> in Denver, Colorado. The breakfast and brunch spot has partnered with <\/span>PFLAG<\/span><\/a> to raise awareness and funds that will be directed specifically toward PFLAG. \u201cOur commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) shows up in everything we do from the Snoozer [<\/span>Ed. note: staffers<\/span><\/i>] experience to how we market to our guests,\u201d says Edmonds. The company employs inclusive hiring practices and asks team members to sign a DEIB commitment statement and pledge to uphold Snooze\u2019s \u201ccompass point\u201d (value) of individuality. Edmonds says, \u201cSome of the things we have done to create a safe space are education on why pronouns are important; creating a space where it is okay to ask if you don\u2019t understand something or know what term to use; and, holding each other accountable to learning about each other so everyone can express themselves for who they are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"LGBTQIA+The craft beer industry is booming, but progress around inclusivity has been slow. However, the folks at <\/span>Bronx Brewery & Empanology<\/span><\/a> in the Port Morris area of New York\u2019s boogie-down borough have been — and are — putting in the work. \u201cIf you look at breweries across the United States, we are doing things that others aren\u2019t. We\u2019re always pushing the boundaries to create an environment that is inclusive for people from all walks of life, religious backgrounds, sexual orientations, and ethnicities. We understand that we\u2019re bigger than beer,\u201d says Brandon Espinosa, vice president of brand & partnerships. The brewery has hosted drag nights and partners with <\/span>Callen-Lorde<\/span><\/a>, which offers primary care, sexual health, women\u2019s health, transgender health, HIV treatment\/prevention, and case management services in an affirming and supportive environment, regardless of ability to pay. Their latest PRIDE beer release, \u201cSome Like It Hopped\u201d, features artwork created by a bartender who identifies as part of the queer community, donates a portion of proceeds to Callen-Lorde. \u201cIt gave her a platform to create art and share her story,\u201d he says. \u201cWe believe in beer\u2019s power to bring people together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"At <\/span>Nightbird<\/span><\/a> in San Francisco, California, executive chef Kim Alter thinks running an inclusive kitchen makes good business sense. \u201cPeople don\u2019t just go to a restaurant based on a Michelin star. When they decide where to spend money, they do so at places that support people. They want to know that they treat LGBTQIA+ and immigrant employees fairly, that they\u2019re well-paid. I would never go to a place that doesn\u2019t support these communities,\u201d she says. Alter, who has done PRIDE menus before the pandemic, says her hiring practices include asking people what their pronouns are and educating staffers about the restaurant\u2019s culture. \u201cThere\u2019s no tolerance around saying something inappropriate or making someone feel unsafe,\u201d Alter says. She recently hired a person who is in the process of transitioning. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s the only reason they chose to work with me, but I made sure to tell them about Kaiser Permanente having one of the best trans programs and I made sure to get them that information and be certain that our health insurance would cover that for them,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s important to have these conversations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"LGBTQIAAt caterers <\/span>TomKat<\/span><\/a> in Nashville, Tennessee, Kendall Morales, owner and director of events and sales, says everyone at that operation and its sister spots <\/span>Acme Feed & Seed<\/span><\/a> (whose motto is \u201cY\u2019all All Are Welcome!\u201d) and <\/span>The Southern Steak and Oyster<\/span><\/a>, takes pride in embracing and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. The company is hosting a virtual PRIDE live-stream benefiting <\/span>Just Us at the Oasis Center<\/span><\/a> on Sun 6\/27 from 1-3PM with 100% of the profits going to Just Us (tickets available <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.). And they recently partnered with DELL to again support the Just Us organization. The team also hosted a wedding shoot for a local publication that turned out to be a surprise proposal (pictured) between Magan and Lyndi, the two employees who were serving as the models, who are now married and have a daughter. \u201cWe\u2019re involved in the community. As a family-owned and locally owned business, doing these things are just part of our values,\u201d Morales notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surbhi Sahni is the chef-owner of <\/span>TAGMO<\/span><\/a>, a regional Indian cuisine and specialty sweets online store, based in NYC. She and her team have created a <\/span>special PRIDE collection<\/span><\/a> that is discounted in honor of the month. She has also teamed up with chef Pretti Mistry, a queer nonbinary 2nd-generation Indian for TAGMO\u2019s monthly <\/span>In the Kitchen<\/span><\/i><\/a> series to celebrate PRIDE. Sahni\u2019s advocacy doesn\u2019t end there. She is very mindful of creating a safe atmosphere in the kitchen. \u201cIf you have a staff member that\u2019s working with you, understanding their pronouns and making them feel comfortable in the space is important.\u201d And while it\u2019s good to be curious, Surbhi cautions against asking people invasive questions. \u201cPotentially embarrassing inquiries are never good!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Location also helps create a baked-in feeling of inclusivity. CEO Vladimir Borodin of <\/span>Burger & Lobster<\/span><\/a>, which has two locations in Manhattan and specializes in offering luxe prime burgers and wild, fresh Atlantic lobsters, chose to open in the city\u2019s Chelsea neighborhood, to serve LGBTQIA+ diners. The eatery regularly participates in PRIDE events, but Borodin says it\u2019s more than marketing. \u201cIt\u2019s in our DNA and part of our true values, and we want to make luxury ingredients available to everyone.\u201d He adds, \u201cBeing in Chelsea is special for us because the area is known for this community. We like to say that we open restaurants for the communities we\u2019re in, the neighbors, and then we invite them to move in, hang out, and enjoy their lives!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"LGBTQIA+As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, Anastasia Soldano, the general manager at Michelin-starred <\/span>Musket Room<\/span><\/a> in New York City, inclusivity is close to her heart. She regularly checks in with her team at staff meetings and empowers them with a feeling of ownership where they feel like this is their home, their restaurant. While she feels PRIDE is important, she believes restaurants celebrating it must pay the movement more than lip service. \u201cI think if you\u2019re doing things during PRIDE and putting a rainbow sticker on it, it should be for the right reasons. It\u2019s not just about putting out a big rainbow flag in your window to get more tourists. It\u2019s not just about generating revenue.\u201d At Musket Room, they do countless fundraisers for non-profits, such as <\/span>The Lower East Side Girls Club<\/span><\/a>. This month, they\u2019ve partnered with <\/span>Supergay Spirits<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Ruby Hibiscus Water<\/span><\/a>, serving punches, spritzes, and snow cones, with the proceeds going to <\/span>SAGE<\/span><\/a>, which is a foundation that supports LGBTQIA+ seniors. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to do things for PRIDE, it should be for the right reason. It should be to help the community. There are a lot of kids who are queer or trans or however they identify that don\u2019t have a place to go. So if you have the opportunity to help, why not?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrity chef David Burke, who has <\/span>establishments<\/span><\/a> in Colorado, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Saudi Arabia, believes the hospitality industry has been at the leading edge of inclusivity. \u201cI would say we were among the first to be hospitable and welcoming. People in this community have worked in the industry forever and restaurants have always been more free-spirited than the corporate world.\u201d He and his team embrace guests of any orientation. \u201cWhen someone walks in your restaurant door, they walk into your house. That\u2019s the way it is. You\u2019re going to be welcoming to all!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

June is PRIDE month, and after a year of dormancy, restaurant operators have been rolling out the rainbow carpet with specials and celebrations that are bigger and better than ever.

Out of a whopping 852,386 restaurants overall, one might think it\u2019s a low number. The reality is likely that many establishments have simply overlooked indicating their welcoming status on their
