From my notebook:

• Cleveland Clinic: "The various pins and buttons on my white coat are an important way to demonstrate an inclusive and safe environment for LGBTQ+ people. Using correct pronouns is a fundamental way to show respect for people and their identity. Wearing the pins and buttons creates an environment where people can feel comfortable sharing who they are and the words they use to describe themselves."-Henry Ng, MD, Director of the Center for LGBTQ+ Care #PrideMonth ." (Cleveland Clinic via Instagram)
