For World Pride 2014, we launched #RaiseThePride to not only expose the hate toward the LGBT community on social media, but fight against it, in real-time. Connected to Twitter, our flag instantly lowered to half-mast with every gay slur and rose to the top, high and proud, with every positive tweet empowering everyone and their network to become an ally in the fight for equality and acceptance.
