Self Evident Truths is a campaign by iO Tillet Wright that hopes to capture the picturess of 10,000 LGBT Americans. Eventually the photos will ideally be printed on the lawn of the National Mall for a Spring 2016 installation prior to the next presidential election. The featured portraits capture anyone who identifies as anything but ‘100% straight.’ The project’s creator and her team hope to ‘humanize a vast community’ by showcasing the diversity among LGBT Americans from all 50 states. By spreading an inclusive message of ‘we are you,’ the initiative aims to raise awareness and eliminate prejudices about the [spectrum of human sexuality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity). This year’s World Pride celebration takes place from June 20-29th in Toronto, Canada. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inclusive Photography Campaigns:** Opportunities for businesses to create similar campaigns, promoting diversity and inclusion. - **LGBT Representation:** Opportunities to increase representation and visibility of LGBTQ community in media and advertising. - **Humanizing Diversity:** Opportunities to showcase the diversity within marginalized communities and promote inclusivity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Businesses can provide photography services that aim to showcase diversity and inclusivity within marginalized communities. - **Media and Entertainment:** Opportunities to increase representation and visibility of LGBTQ community in media and entertainment. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunities for businesses to create inclusive ad campaigns and marketing strategies that promote diversity and representation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory LGBTQ Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantene-beautifulgbtq-campaign.md) - [Pride-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/places-of-pride.md) - [Pride Month-Focused Mixology Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebratingyou-campaign.md) - [Senior-Friendly Pride Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seniorfriendly-pride.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-pride-campaign.md) - [Rainbow Pride Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibition-place.md) - [Inclusive LGBTQ+ Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-lgbtq-event.md) - [Pride Month T-Shirt Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amnesty-international-canada.md) - [LGBTQ Artist Candy Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-pride.md)
