It Gets Better Pride experience culminates in Minecraft build

Get involved!

The fifth annual It Gets Better Pride experience will run between 7-14 June here in Australia and culminates in an inclusive Minecraft town.

“Pride Village is part of the fifth annual It Gets Better: A Digital Pride Experience, which will feature Pride-themed streams on It Gets Better’s Twitch channel throughout the month,” organisers said in a press release.

“All Digital Pride activations will also serve as a fundraiser to support It Gets Better, and all funds raised up to $50,000 throughout Pride Month will be matched by a donation from e.l.f. Cosmetics.”

“Digital streaming platforms like Twitch are vital lifelines for LGBTQ+ youth, offering inclusive and affirming spaces to find community, which is so important to our work at It Gets Better, ” said Brian Wenke, Executive Director of It Gets Better.

“The Pride Village Minecraft relay presents a unique opportunity to experience what Pride means to content creators all over the world, and ultimately, offer LGBTQ+ youth a lasting digital world they can visit anytime.”

If you’re interested in the experience, you can head to the It Gets Better website for a full schedule of events, or head here to donate to It Gets Better.
