Showing support without coming across as insincere or intrusive can be done by being there for those experiencing discrimination, listening to them and validating their experiences, raising your voice to speak out against discrimination, and finding creative ways to educate yourself and others.

Be an active listener, show genuine care and interest in what the marginalized person has to say, seek ways to learn more about an issue or experience you are unfamiliar with, let people know that you stand against discrimination and are there for a listening ear if needed - without being forceful or preachy.
