Pride 2020: The more we talk, the more we understand

Pride started because Black and Latinx people stood up for justice. Today, we stand on their shoulders and call for equity and equality. Global issues including the coronavirus pandemic, systemic racism, and targeted violence have exacerbated the inequities the LGBTQI+ community already faces, making it all the more important to have a candid conversation. That’s why LGBTQI+ people at Microsoft are embracing the uncomfortable and inviting all to a dialogue. Because a dialogue can lead to understanding, and understanding can lead to change.
