#accessible pride

We've been hosting It Gets Better: A Digital Pride Experience for LGBTQ+ youth since 2020, because:

Not everyone has a local, in-person Pride celebration.

Not everyone feels comfortable or safe being out and open in public.

LGBTQ+ youth can't always access in-person Pride resources or IRL community.

This year, we're spotlighting a lineup of streamers, gamers, and creators on Twitch who are using their platforms to support LGBTQ+ youth with their communities and raise funds for It Gets Better.

From charity relay streams spanning tournaments to queer proms, activations with longtime brand partners, and our closing Chosen Family livestream packed with gift exchanges, GRWMs, and real talk about allyship and activism — we hope this encourages y'all to speak out and support LGBTQ+ youth with us in the online spaces they already call home.

We'll be updating our IG with stream schedules and updates all throughout the month so you can join the celebrations live, so follow us there and on Twitch!

Learn more here as we update the stream schedule.

See y'all in chat. 💜

If you often post pride flags, please start using or making image description templates and describing your original posts rather than asking other people to do it for you.

If you make the original post accessible from the start, literally everyone benefits. It's not fair to ask physically disabled people to be the only ones putting in effort to make the spaces accessible.

You can also submit pride flags to this blog that need templates, and the document will be updated.

Get ready to join us for an unforgettable experience at our upcoming Accessible Virtual Pride on August 31st & September 1st, 2024! We’re thrilled to invite you to a celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and love, uniting the LGBTQAI2S+ community and our allies in a safe and COVID-conscious environment. Produced by Calling Up Justice and One Free Community, our event is dedicated to promoting justice and accessibility, ensuring everyone can participate regardless of their ability to attend in person. Inspired by the story of “Stone Soup,” every aspect of this event is a labor of love, with volunteers dedicating their time and talents to create something truly special.

🏳️‍🌈 Are you frustrated by the inability to attend Pride events in person due to a lack of masking in your communities?

🌈 That’s why we produced Accessible Virtual Pride Celebration: Uniting Covid Cautious LGBTQAI2S+ and Allies!

🗓️ Date: August 31 and Sept 1 🎉 Produced by: Calling Up Justice and One Free Community

Two versions, one as the normal square-ish template I use to make Redbubble designs, plus a longer version so it can be used a blog header, which should fit perfectly without need for adjustment.

The pink's for girls, blue for boys, and purple for all other non-binary genders!

These flags can be used for anything you'd use a pride flag for; icons, headers, moodboards, art, redbubble designs, LGBallTs, ect! Credit isn't necessary, though it would be appreciated if you can link people to HD versions of the flags so they can save them too :)

Feel free to change the colors or make other variants!

When using these flags, please try to include an image description like in this post! You can even copy and paste these ones and just edit it to fit the art, no credit needed! :)

You can search "Demigirlboy" and "Demiboygirl" on Redbubble to find the designs I've posted so far!
