My colleagues have been pushing for LGBTQ+ rights at the company, but I think that's wrong. What is the most effective way to convince them that they are wrong?

It can be difficult to express opposing views on sensitive topics like LGBTQ+ rights. The best approach might be to explain why you disagree, referring to any policies or procedures that are already in place that safeguard those rights, while also citing potential implications and consequences of introducing new measures. Respectful dialogue is the most effective way of coming to an understanding on this type of issue.

You could try arguing that the company should abide by a policy of non-discrimination, but not make any special provisions for LGBTQ+ rights. It may help to present facts and figures demonstrating support for the LGBTQ+ community and how discrimination affects their health and social well-being. Alternatively, focus on how allowing certain rights may violate colleagues' freedom of conscience or religion. Show that while we all should be treated with respect, there are limits to the extent that a business can reasonably be expected to prioritize diverse interests and views in the workplace.
