Sam the bellhop1/27/2024 ![]() Pride Month is an exciting time for me as a pansexual woman because I get to not only celebrate my own sexual orientation but also those who do not always receive the same level of visibility- such as transgender and non-binary individuals. I feel this is important, especially in this day and age where not all queer individuals receive that same level of acceptance in their workplace, unfortunately. Not only do we have a Pride Group, but everyone as a whole is extremely accepting, non-judgmental, and the culture itself fosters the freedom to be yourself at work, which is something I feel many companies lack, even in 2021. One of my favorite parts about working for Bellhop is the open-mindedness and accepting culture we have here.

I have been with Bellhop for six years now, and I was one of the first openly gay employees (some have called me the “trailgayzer”) at Bellhop. A few employees shared their thoughts about pride and Pride Month below. As Pride Month comes to a close, we want to celebrate the members of our team who are a part of the LGBTQAI community. At Bellhop, our non-discrimination policy includes sexual orientation and gender identity. It is also a month that celebrates diversity, love, and inclusiveness.
