It’s almost Pride Month, and we’re rolling out the rainbow carpet a little early to announce a new shirt in the GitHub Shop, inspired by the LGBTQ tech community. After two years of donating proceeds from Pridetocat and Transtocat shirts to organizations that empower LGBTQ community members, we’re changing up the design and going bigger (and global) with our donations.
With the new shirt design, you’ll always have your heart on your sleeve and your git chart proudly on your chest. Whether you’re wearing it to parade day or a coffee run, it’s the perfect way to add some color with a side of code. Get one while you can—they’ll be in the Shop until September 30.
LGBTQ organizations you’ll be supporting when you buy one
BreakOUT!
BreakOUT! seeks to end the criminalization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth to build a safer and more just New Orleans. BreakOUT! builds on the rich cultural tradition of resistance in the south to build the power of LGBTQ youth ages 13-25 directly impacted by the criminal justice system through youth organizing, healing justice, and leadership development programs.
