June is National Foster a Pet Month, and throughout the month LaunchPointGG will be highlighting some of the pets that make our community a little brighter every day.
You'll meet the dogs, cats, and other companions that keep us company during races, interrupt our streams, steal our seats, and occasionally help with race strategy. Along the way, we'll be sharing their stories, favorite activities, unique personalities, and in some cases their journeys through adoption, rescue, and fostering.
As a long-time supporter of Adopt A Husky Minnesota and animal welfare efforts, we also want to use this opportunity to encourage people to consider fostering or adopting if they're in a position to do so. There are countless animals waiting for a second chance, and fostering can make a life-changing difference.
Throughout June, keep an eye on our social media as we introduce the pets of LaunchPointGG, share their stories, and celebrate the impact animals have on our lives.
After all, behind every fast driver is a pet wondering why we're spending so much time staring at a screen.
Happy Pride Month from LaunchPointGG.
Pride started as a protest, and while it's a celebration today, it's still a reminder that the rights, safety, and dignity of LGBTQ+ people are worth fighting for.
At LPGG, we don't believe inclusion should be controversial. We believe trans people deserve to exist without being targeted. We believe LGBTQ+ people deserve the freedom to live openly, safely, and authentically. We believe everyone deserves a place in the communities they love, including sim racing, gaming, and esports.
We're proud to support the LGBTQ+ members of our community, not because it's good for branding, not because it's popular, and not just during June. We support them because they're our friends, teammates, creators, competitors, and fellow community members.
You'll see Pride themed liveries and content from us this month, just as you have in years past. Not because we're trying to make a statement about racing, but because we're making a statement about people. LGBTQ+ people belong here. Period.
To everyone celebrating this month, we're glad you're here, we're proud to stand with you, and we'll keep using our platform to support equality, inclusion, and human rights.
Happy Pride Month. π³οΈβπ
