These gay rights campaigns don't just celebrate equality and acceptance for the LGBT community, they promote World Pride as well. This Friday marks the beginning of the annual week-long gay pride event, this year located in Toronto. More than just a parade, the colorful occasion has a whole calendar of events happening. While Toronto typically hosts Pride every year, this international event will also bring added tourism to the area.
Many of these gay rights campaigns are in video form, whether they are parodying pop culture to apply to an LGBT audience or are create moving messages that will resonate with all people regardless of who they love. Some of these campaigns are products that are intended to raise awareness. Several infographics also exist that represent other gay rights campaigns.
