Virgin Atlantic relaxes uniform policy for queer staff

British airline Virgin Atlantic has launched new uniform rules for its queer employees, including its crew, pilots and ground teams.

According to the airline’s updated gender identity policy, employees will now be able to choose either the red or the burgundy uniform, depending on which they think best reflects them. Earlier, women had to wear the red uniform and men had to wear the burgundy uniform.

Additionally, the airline has rolled-out optional “pronoun badges” that will allow Virgin Atlantic’s staff as well as customers to select the pronouns they would like to be addressed by.
