Destination Pride
Interactive Pride flag to help LGBTQ people travel safely
What if each bar on the pride flag could tell the story of the place it was flying? That’s the idea at the heart of 'Destination Pride,' a new digital platform developed by? ?Pflag Canada in partnership with FCB/SIX. In a world where gay marriage is legal in one place and homosexuality punishable by death in another, the stakes for LGBTQ+ travelers have always been high. DestinationPride.org is a step toward helping the community better navigate the planet.
Now, as the centerpiece of a clever campaign from nonprofit group PFLAG Canada, the rainbow Pride flag, a symbol of inclusiveness since its creation 40 years ago, morphs into a data visualization tool designed to help LGBTQ folks travel safely.
The locales are ranked based on six metrics: marriage equality, sexual activity laws, gender identity protections, anti-discrimination laws, civil rights and social-media sentiment. Each of these categories corresponds to one of the color bars of the pride flag.
