“Professional sports showing up for LGBT people is one of the biggest cultural developments of the last decade, and really the last five years,” said GLSEN executive director Eliza Byard. “The NBA has been showing up for LGBT youth and for GLSEN for a number of years. Having this be a league-wide initiative, knowing any LGBT fan in the country can choose to celebrate their team and themselves with one of those shirts, that’s a whole new thing.”
The NBA has partnered up with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to create a limited edition line of LGBT Pride shirts.
Each shirt features a different NBA team’s logo done up in rainbow colors and set on a black background. The shirts will be available for two weeks with all proceeds going straight to the GLSEN, which seeks to create safe spaces in schools for LGBT students.

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!
