‍A note from Tanya (she/her & they/them) and Alex (he/him), leaders of the Pride Employee Resource Group at Discord:

At Discord, Pride Month is always a time to take action for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. This year was especially eventful: we kicked off June with our annual donation drive supporting GLSEN, launched a new Pronoun Bot, painted the walls of San Francisco, and helped spotlight over a dozen Pride-focused Stage Channel events held by our communities.

By the end of the month, our community had raised $70,769.85 for GLSEN. We at the Discord Pride Employee Resource Group donated an additional $50,000, bringing our grand total to a goal-shattering $120,769.85. These donations will help ensure LGBTQIA+ students around the world are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying or harassment.

While we’re pleased with the success of the drive, of our Pronoun Bot, and of our community’s many panels and celebrations, we firmly believe that Pride doesn’t end in June. Pride is a never-ending celebration of support, awareness, and inclusion — and it’s important that we as a company continue to support LGBTQIA2S+ causes and communities all year round.

Discord’s Pride Employee Resource Group, a group of Discordians driven to create belonging in both the workspace and the world, would like to take this opportunity to share knowledge, resources, organizations, and information that can help you celebrate and support LGBTQIA2S+ communities in your daily life and keep the spirit of Pride alive.
