Celebrating Pride Month with the LGBTQ Community on Facebook

The LBGTQ community on Facebook is an integral and celebrated part of the company, and swear by the importance of representation and having a community matters — whether that be LGBTQ people sharing photos that can change hearts and minds, or by using Facebook products, like Groups, to find a supportive network.

Today and in celebration of the kick off of Pride month in the US, the company is launching new ways for the LGBTQ Community on Facebook to express themselves and show their pride on Facebook, Messenger and Instagram. Facebook says they know and understand that people in the LGBTQ community on Facebook are supporting one another worldwide and year-round, which is why the company is making all of these effects available throughout the year.
