How did the project start? The project grew out of the Digital Pride Hackathon in May 2020, created by (full names?). As 2020 saw widespread lockdowns and the cancellation of Pride celebrations in many cities, we wanted to create an online space where the voices that didn’t get to speak/sing/shout this Pride season could be heard.
