LGBTQ+ stars and allies including Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Billy Porter, Big Freedia, and Sia are teaming up this month to keep the legacy of Pride alive in 2020, despite social-distancing restrictions forcing most would-be celebrations to shut down.
On June 25, a live-streamed virtual COVID-19 relief event called Can’t Cancel Pride will air via iHeartRadio. All donations will benefit national organizations supporting LGBTQ+ communities, including the National Black Justice Coalition, The Trevor Project, Outright, GLAAD, SAGE, and CenterLink.
In the months since the coronavirus outbreak forced most of America into quarantine, more than 475 Pride events across the country have been cancelled.
