# Inclusive Pride Campaigns The You Can Sit with Us Campaign Celebrates the Diversity of Pride Month By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-06-20 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-can-sit-with-us References: [pridetoronto](http://www.pridetoronto.com/you-can-sit-with-us/) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_e3BFxEPc&feature=youtu.be) In honor of Pride Month, Pride Toronto created a campaign called 'You Can Sit With Us,' which celebrates the diversity of the [LGBTQ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantene-beautifulgbtq-campaign) community. With more than 300 faces packed into a one minute video, the campaign perfectly showcases all different ages, ethnicities, gender expressions, gender identities and sexual orientations. The You Can Sit With Us campaign plays on the iconic line from the film 'Mean Girls.' However, instead of a message of exclusion, the campaign celebrates inclusion and diversity. The ad itself showcases influential members of [Toronto's LGBTQ community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-the-rainbow), as well as famous allies such as Toronto Mayor John Tory and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The idea is to demonstrate that Pride Month is a time for everyone to come together and support the LGBTQ community, regardless of their background. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/commercials) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inclusive Pride Campaigns:** Creating inclusive pride campaigns that celebrate diversity and promote unity among the LGBTQ community. - **Celebrating Diversity:** Emphasizing the importance of showcasing diversity in campaigns and events to promote inclusivity and acceptance. - **Iconic Line Campaigns:** Utilizing iconic lines or references from popular culture to create impactful campaigns that convey positive messages of inclusion and diversity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunities for marketing and advertising agencies to develop inclusive pride campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences. - **Event Planning:** Creating inclusive and diverse events that celebrate the LGBTQ community and foster a sense of unity and acceptance. - **Social and Activist Organizations:** Organizations working towards inclusivity and diversity can leverage campaigns like 'You Can Sit With Us' to promote their mission and engage a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Pride Month Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primark-pride-collection.md) - [Celebratory LGBTQ Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantene-beautifulgbtq-campaign.md) - [Expansive Pride Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2slgbtqi-community.md) - [Senior-Friendly Pride Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seniorfriendly-pride.md) - [Beer-Branded Pride Camps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bud-light-camp.md) - [Pride Month-Focused Mixology Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebratingyou-campaign.md) - [Pride-Inspired Safe Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sephora-launched-brave-spaces.md) - [Inclusive Healthcare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-real.md) - [Pride Month-Honoring Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayu-pride-cookie.md)
