7 Remote & Hybrid-Friendly Companies Supporting LGBTQ+ Workers

It's Pride Month, a time to celebrate and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) people whom we call friends, share a workplace with, or live in our homes. June also presents a great time to give a shout out to the companies that go out of their way to provide the LGBTQ+ community with an inclusive, safe, and supportive work environment.

In its work with thousands of companies, FlexJobs has identified 800 that truly support LGBTQ+ workers. To be included on the list, a company had to:

• Be recognized on the Human Rights Campaign's Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality list. This list ranks organizations on corporate policies, practices, and benefits important to the LGBTQ+ community.
• Be actively hiring for fully-remote jobs as of May 30, 2023.

We don't have room to feature all 800 companies in this article, but here are seven randomly chosen from the list.
