TAIMI — the world’s first LGBTQI+ social network and dating app shares new data on the importance of marking Pride in 2020.Let’s all go back to June 2019. Packed venues, streets full of parties, marches and events dedicated to the history of Pride. All those involved in Pride planning were expecting the same if not bigger turn out in 2020. The excitement of upcoming Pride season didn’t go past TAIMI and its users.
However, 2020 hit us hard with a pandemic the world has never seen before. This is the first time in a long history, Pride events are not going ahead as scheduled. In fact, more than 475 of them have been canceled or postponed.Going a full year without Pride is not right. We all know this, but thanks to technology the world will have the ability to experience many digital prides launched by organizations, media, and of course TAIMI.So, we decided to poll our 6+ Million users about the importance of keeping Pride alive during the pandemic. How do they feel about “going digital” and what is the takeaway after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
