We celebrate pride at my company, and have since 2015, it's totally voluntary, you can ask for a tshirt, show up to the food, attend the lunch n learns. We explain why putting pronouns in ones zoom/linkedin/slack helps folks be more comfortable with their gender identity, but even some of the LGBTQ folks don't put it in their online profiles.
It's quite simple - and you really don't know why someone chose to not participate: maybe too many deadlines? Maybe they are uncomfortable?
