Pin It Proudly
Discovery. Inspiration. Normalization. Pinterest’s ad tells stories of multiple queer people and how the online world helped their journeys as well as what Pride means to them. The ad is shot beautifully and the stories are just as beautiful to hear from these people around the world. It shows the community often found on the internet, especially for subcultures Pinterest helps facilitate.
