In the face of adversity, existence itself can be resistance and spark change. Radical joy is more than just a feeling. It’s an anthem to those who thrive against all odds. An ode to beauty. And a reminder that joy is both universal and individual—and we should unite in spreading it everywhere.
Join Microsoft employees as we celebrate Pride and the spirit of radical joy!
Every color of joy
LGBTQIA+ community is not a monolith. It’s a large group of people, sharing various sexual and romantic orientations and gender identities. We celebrate their power and unity in many ways. One of them is by featuring 74 community flags in bright, joyful and radical Pride designs. Overlapping and intersecting with power and flourish, they represent the interconnectedness of LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences. Plus, all of them are available as open-source graphics for everyone to use, remix, and share, to spread LGBTQIA+ acceptance and harmony around the world!
