T-Mobile Celebrates 2021 Pride

Last month I posted about T-Mobile’s Changemaker Challenge, and you may remember me saying that although we are new customers to T-Mobile, we've always been fans of their Un-carrier mantra! And, happily, when they merged with Sprint, we automatically became T-Mobile customers. this time T-Mobile celebrates 2021 Pride virtually and in person with the community.

I especially love that T-Mobile is always focused on giving back to the community! This month is no different. T-Mobile celebrates 2021 Pride virtually and in person by participating in Pride events all around the country. As the mother and aunt of LGBTQ+ kids, I am very familiar with Pride and the various celebrations that take place. I love seeing all the wonderful Pride messaging and think this should be focused on all year. T-Mobile gets that too as they champion diversity, equity and inclusion year-round.

T-Mobile and Pride

Pride definitely looks a little different for the second year in a row. Although a lot of places are opening back up around the United States, the majority of events seem to still be virtual events. Not everyone is comfortable going out yet so Pride has adapted for that as well.

For the past several years (pre-covid), I have been a part of the Pride celebration through my sister's employer and we were fortunate enough to walk in the parade which is such an amazing experience!

And it thrills me that T-Mobile is taking part in the Pride celebration this year too by participating in several virtual Pride events as they share their unstoppable pride for LGBTQ+ employees and allies.

I always love seeing the super cool T-Mobile employees in all that bright magenta. The top picture above shows just how fun the T-Mobile crew is!

One of our favorite Harry Styles quotes is below. We love it because it really shares how celebs are supporting and showing up as allies to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in the mainstream media. Download our FREE Printable Pride Quote:

Not only does T-Mobile support this important community year round, they also champion causes like LGBTQ+ youth from GLSEN, the Human Rights Campaign and more. To celebrate, T-Mobile furthered its longstanding support of organizations that serve LGBTQ+ youth with a $1 million donation to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s new financial and digital literacy initiatives AND a $250,000 donation to GLSEN’s mission to make schools a safer and more inclusive space for LGBTQ+ students.

The funds from the donation will support GLSEN’s year-round initiatives and events that provide students grades K-12 with a safe, supportive, and LGBTQ-inclusive education, including the Rainbow Library, Respect Awards 2021-2022, Day of Silence, and Solidarity Week! As a mom, it’s so heartwarming to see their commitment to kids.
