Macy’s has been honored by The Trevor Project, the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ.  This honor is a direct result of Macy’s nationwide Pride + Joy campaign and their continued support for Pride Month. The Pride Month campaign features a plethora of in-store fashion events, advertising support, special tribute windows in select stores, Gift Registry booths for same-sex couples in key cities, as well as sponsorship and employee participation in Pride parades across the country.

The highlight of this extravaganza is Macy’s employee participation in Pride parades in 16 markets nationwide including New York, Washington, DC, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Columbus, Houston, St. Louis, St. Petersburg, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle, Cincinnati, and Atlanta. The company has already participated in Pride celebrations in Phoenix, Miami and Melbourne, FL earlier this year. Upholding tradition, employees will fly a rainbow Macy’s star balloon symbolizing the company’s continued commitment to the LGBTQ community.

“We are proud to support our LGBTQ employees and consumers through initiatives that recognize and honor our commitment to diversity and inclusion,” said Corliss Fong, Macy’s vice president of diversity strategies.
