LOS ANGELES (April 27, 2023) – Equalpride, the nation’s leading LGBTQ+ owned and operated media company, is proud to announce its partnership with Can't Cancel Pride 2023: The Future Starts Now, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and iHeartMedia’s groundbreaking digital fundraiser event designed to celebrate Pride Month and support LGBTQ+ communities. The star-studded event will unite renowned musicians, celebrities, and influencers to raise funds for various LGBTQ+ organizations and causes.
Can’t Cancel Pride was started during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many Pride events were forced to cancel around the world. Now in its fourth year, the event will focus on the achievements of the past, the urgency of the present moment, and the hope for the future of the LGBTQ+ community. The show will explore how leaders of the past addressed LGBTQ issues and provided the foundation for change; how advocates are expanding opportunities today; and how the next generation is building the groundwork for a safe, equitable and joyous future.
The official lineup, including headliners, will be announced on May 18 at an exclusive New York City event as part of the May/June Pride issue drop of Out, part of the equalpride family of brands. The event will stream on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages as well as iHeartRadio’s PrideRadio.com, Revry, The Roku Channel and equalpride’s The Advocate Channel on June 15 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT to coincide with global Pride Month celebrations.
As a media sponsor, equalpride will provide extensive coverage and promotion for Can't Cancel Pride across its channels, reaching diverse audiences. Equalpride's involvement in the event underscores its commitment to covering stories from the LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities and, through them, initiating a culture of equality for all.
"With Can't Cancel Pride, we are honored to join forces with P&G, iHeartMedia, and other like-minded partners to amplify the voices of the LGBTQ+ community and raise vital funds for those in need," said Chris Go, Vice President of Client Solutions & Brand Partnerships. "Our partnership is a powerful testament to the resilience of our community and the importance of celebrating Pride, even in challenging times."
Can't Cancel Pride offers a unique opportunity for the public to engage with and support the LGBTQ+ community through a memorable event that combines music, entertainment, and advocacy. Funds raised during the event will be distributed to various LGBTQ+ organizations, providing much-needed resources for their ongoing efforts to advance equality, promote acceptance, and support the LGBTQ+ community.
