Twitter is celebrating Pride Month for users of the platform as well as the company’s own employees.<\/p>\n

On June 2, Twitter announced that it would be activating its rainbow heart emoji for all of June for anyone who tweets the hashtags #LoveIsLove<\/strong>, #Pride2016<\/strong>, or #LoveWins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many prominent users on social media have tweeted the hashtags, including The White House.<\/p>\n

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 9, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The heaviest use of the hashtags came in the wake of the shooting in Orlando. Twitter has shared a map<\/a> showing the growth of the #LoveIsLove hashtag in the hours following news of the shooting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, LGBT advocacy goes further than a hashtag at Twitter. In a blog post<\/a> on Monday, Lead of TwitterOpen Jim Halloran stated, “At Twitter, Pride is also a celebration of love for people of every gender, orientation, and identity. Twitter is where inclusion lives, empowering these diverse voices and communities to express themselves and connect.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Pride Month is a celebration of love for every gender, orientation and identity. Share the love with #LoveIsLove<\/a> t.co\/JMnFRIuXYA<\/a><\/p>\n

— TwitterOpen (@TwitterOpen) June 20, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the blog post, Twitter stands up for the LGBT community by partnering with nonprofit organizations, providing equal healthcare benefits to LGBTQ employees, not hosting blood drives as long as the FDA’s restriction on gay<\/a> men<\/a> is in effect, and fighting against discriminatory “religious freedom bills.”<\/p>\n

You can celebrate Pride, too, by tweeting #LoveIsLove, #Pride2016, or #LoveWins on Twitter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
