My company has recently started a LGBTQ+ group, but I'm not comfortable participating in their activities. How can I avoid participating in LGBTQ+ group activities at my company?

It may be possible to opt out of LGBTQ+ group activities at your company by either claiming an unrelated conflict or other busy obligation when those activities are arranged, or simply respectfully declining the invitation. Depending on the policy of your company, it is also possible to seek administrative exceptions on behalf of yourself which would provide an official mechanism for avoiding participation in these activities.

You can explain to your employer that you respect and value the inclusivity that the LGBTQ+ group is providing, but that you need to take a personal stance of abstention from group activities out of respect for your beliefs. It may also help to specify what types of support you would like to provide instead, such as being a listener or an ally without participating in formal events.
