TikTok commemorates Pride Month 2021 through initiatives such as the 'Free to Be' global campaign, and #ForYourPride hashtag challenge!
This month of June, TikTok is one with the LGBTQIA+ community in celebrating the Pride Month 2021. As a global entertainment platform that inspires creativity and fuels culture, TikTok is committed to nurturing the inclusive and diverse community within the app.
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. By constantly working to make creators from various backgrounds and beliefs feel safe to express their truest selves, 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.
