This year LGBTQIA+ communities at Microsoft invite everyone to join in our experimental “Pride has no borders” metaverse event. Pride has no borders – immerse into our metaverse Pride event on June 17 In the coming months, you’ll be able to explore more LGBTQIA+ stories and immersive experiences on an array of topics such as accessibility, sustainability, culture, science, radical tech and more. Our inaugural edition is all about Pride. Today, we’ve launched Microsoft Unlocked – a new digital destination for stories from the heart and soul of innovation. We’re excited to uplift LGBTQIA+ voices year-round, not just at Pride.
That’s in addition to the $8 million we’ve donated together with our employees since last year. To mark the launch of our campaign, we’re contributing a total of $170,000 to LGBTQIA+ nonprofits around the world. Through stories, products and metaverse events, it highlights the interconnected challenges LGBTQIA+ people face and calls for a unified global response.
Our Pride centers on intersectionality of the LGBTQIA+ movements across race, ethnicity and geography.
