As the parades roll out and the rainbow flags fly high, it's easy to get swept up in the celebration. But beyond the glitter and glam, Pride is a call to action. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much further we need to go. And that journey begins by showing up for each other.
STEAM IS SO GAY. And We're Fighting to Keep It That Way.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) have always been shaped by LGBTQ+ visionaries. Yet today, our community in STEAM faces growing threats. Queer students in STEAM aren’t just seeking visibility, they need real, material support.
That’s why LGBT Tech’s PATHS program is launching a month-long Pride campaign to raise $20,000 for LGBTQ+ students pursuing STEAM careers. For just $1, you can help fund LGBTQ+ mentorships, career development workshops, educational grants, and affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ voices.
Community Support Matters Now More Than Ever!
It’s no secret that our community is under attack. But we’re not backing down. We're banding together. Pride is about celebration, but also transformation, and that starts by investing in each other. When we support our own, we build something powerful: a future where LGBTQ+ folks thrive, not just at pride parades and events, but year-round in research, labs, classrooms, and boardrooms.
Supporting each other means:
Amplifying queer voices
Creating safe spaces
Speaking up against injustice
Providing tools for our community to imagine and build better futures
Donating to LGBTQ+ organizations doing the crucial work of supporting our community.
The first Pride was a riot. Let’s honor that legacy, not just with signs and slogans, but with action and investment in our community.
This year, instead of just celebrating Pride for one month, fund LGBTQ+ futures.
Because LGBTQ+ students belong in STEAM.
