In addition to embracing the rainbow, Pinterest is also amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ creators. Through its themed programming, the platform is shining a spotlight on influential individuals from this community, providing them with a platform to share their stories, experiences, and creativity. From makeup artists and fashion influencers to activists and entrepreneurs, Pinterest is dedicated to showcasing their inspiring work and fostering a sense of community and representation.
Sasha Colby, a California-based drag performer, actress, dancer, and passionate advocate for the transgender community, shared her inspiring insights about Pinterest:
“I’ve been a Pinterest Queen for years. Pinterest has always been the platform I’ve used to help realize my looks and performances, and I’ve been harnessing inspiration on my boards for years. Pinterest allows me to push my creative thinking and delve into ideas I wasn’t even originally searching for. I’m proud to collaborate with Pinterest this Pride Month to reveal the board behind so many of my greatest inspirations.”
But the celebration doesn’t stop there. Users can explore virtual Pride parades, panel discussions, workshops, and other engaging activities hosted by organizations and influencers. These events serve as spaces for learning, dialogue, and connection, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
So, let’s join Pinterest on this exciting journey of Pride Month celebrations, as we explore themed programming, engage with LGBTQ+ creators, and foster a more inclusive world. Together, we can make a difference and celebrate the beauty of diversity in all its forms.
