• Scopeleans filled our community Spotify playlist with music from our favorite LGBTQIA+ artists and tunes that inspire us live authentically.


• Scopeleans brought their Pride to every meeting with custom Zoom backgrounds, as seen below!

Freedom of mind to explore and discover; to better understand and love ourselves and others; as individuals, family, friends, and communities of this earth. Pride should always be a part of what we are and all we are striving to achieve."

Pride is conquering the fear and self-loathing ingrained in us growing up and learning to love yourself. Pride is showing the younger members of our tribe that it’s ok to show your authentic self to the world. Pride is celebrating all the diversity of the community and standing in solidarity with one another."

Since having kids, Pride is a bit different. I want our kids to be proud of our little family. We might not look like other families but our family is full of love and I'm really proud of that."

Pride means to me inclusion, dignity, equality and increased visibility and acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender humans. Freedom of expression and the ability to live life to the fullest!"

Pride is about celebrating freedom. It's a time to embrace who you are and appreciate how others are different than you."

Pride is about being able to feel safe in my own skin and be who I am because of all the struggles and sacrifices others endured before. There is still a VERY long way to go for so many people and it's a time to remember that and work as best we can so that others have the same opportunities."

• MARVEL Strike Force’s All Together Now event celebrated harmony across the world. At the center of the event was the limited-time Unity trait and Unity Orb, which features Gold, gear, and select event characters, including Negasonic Teenage Warhead at a higher drop rate. 


• Yahtzee With Buddies Play with Pride offered all players a special rainbow frame for their profile photos after completing an in-game activity.
