Juneteenth becomes a federal holiday, employers share return to work concerns, and MSNBC refuses to voluntarily recognize union

Hello, communicators:

As Pride Month continues, many are looking to bring back the in-person gatherings that often mark the celebration of LGBTQ identity.

To create conversations around what Pride celebrations look like as the world moves back to communal, IRL events, dating app Grindr has launched its “Grindr Pride: The Comeback” campaign of safely executed, in-person Pride events that will take place across 10 U.S. cities on June 26. Earlier in the year, Grindr partnered with GoFundMe and GayCities as part of an adjacent Save Our Spaces campaign to raise money for such LGBTQ+ safe spaces that were impacted by the pandemic, and Grindr Pride: The Comeback is intended as the next phase in these efforts.
