Is it phobic / could I be disciplined for not recognising the TQ+?

My employer wants my team to join an LGBTQ+ event day. As a GC woman I feel uncomfortable that my employer takes this political stand, I personally don't think the TQ+ belongs with LGB and that the event is akin to a political rally.
Am I correct in thinking this? And can I raise it?

Do you normally work on a Sunday? If voluntary then you are busy doing something else.

It's voluntary, surely? I work in a sector that previously collectively supported our local Pride quite a lot (when it could afford to - not as much in recent years). We were invited to join the march (and I used to), but certainly nobody was ever formally required to. Have times changed that much?

I think it is like asking you to march at Pride for your salary. It’s a huge overstep. I would explain that I think LGBTQ+ eventing is rightly for people who identify that way, and you don’t want to overstep that mark.
