Pride Month Past Campaigns
At ACM, our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity is fundamental to our mission. Awareness months are a time dedicated to reflection, education, and engagement to embrace the diversity within the ACM community. This archival webpage documents past ACM social media campaigns for Pride Month (June 1-30). Our social media campaigns work to honor the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ computing professionals and educate others about their impact on the computing world.
How Tech Can Empower the LGBTQ+ Community
In celebration of Pride Month, ACM hosts a panel discussion centered around technological advances and its importance in connecting LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide. Queer users have utilized virtual reality and social media platforms to create a safe environment for community gathering and authentic self-expression. “Virtual Realities: How Tech Can Empower the LGBTQ+ Community,” features panelists Andreea Danielescu, Sharone Horowit-Hendler, and Michael Ann Devito with Guo Freeman as the moderator. Panelists will share their research on how LGBTQ+ identities and technology can intersect.
