TikTok is a global application framework that promotes culture and fosters innovation. As a result, the platform is dedicated to cultivating the app’s inclusive and diverse community by working hard to ensure that creators of all backgrounds and beliefs feel free to express their genuine self.
This June, in celebration of Pride Month 2021, TikTok has the unique opportunity to unite the LGBTQ+ community on the platform along with its supporters, through a series of celebrations aimed at empowering, educating, and entertaining all its users. Through this, TikTok hopes to ultimately foster a more inclusive space that is truly a free place for all.
On TikTok, Everyone is Free to Be
TikTok commemorates Pride Month 2021 by elevating the conversation around its global campaign theme, ‘Free to Be’, which means having the freedom to be yourself in any and all spaces, being free to evolve into the person you are meant to be, and enjoying the freedom to create content without judgement. It also means being free to push yourself to be better in every way, including checking your biases, learning to understand other people’s perspectives, taking an active stand against discrimination, and allowing anyone to feel free to be themselves without the pressure of societal or gendered norms.
TikTok Celebrates Pride Month 2021
TikTok reinforces its role as an entertainment platform that empowers the LGBTQ+ community through initiatives celebrating, recognizing, amplifying, and elevating LGBTQ+ creators and trends, and spotlighting trailblazing LGBTQIA+ creators, businesses, and partnerships. These initiatives include:
- #ForYourPride Hashtag Challenge, a call-to-action to all users to declare what Pride means to you, and share what you do for your pride.
- New Pride-themed creative effects, filters and stickers.
