Pride Lounge

Welcome to the Florida Supercon Pride Lounge! This year our Pride Lounge is brought to you by a coalition of nonprofit organizations working together to bring you a safe and affirming space for those who identify as LGBTQ and are allied with the community. Each of these amazing organizations works tirelessly to support and serve the community.

Through education, prevention, research, care and treatment and support services, Care Resource improves upon the health and overall quality of life of our diverse South Florida communities in need.

Prism FL, Inc is an LGBTQ+ non-profit organization centered in South Florida. PRISM’s mission is to provide LGBTQ+ youth, especially LGBTQ+ people of color with accessible resources to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, engineers, artists, politicians, and everything in-between. PRISM works to benefit the community by educating the youth through online resources and local events, as well as supporting student organizers through initiatives like the PRISM Student Ambassador Program and advocating for disenfranchised communities within the LGBTQ+ sphere.

We are an educational cosplay group that welcomes all and supports making connections through performance, tutorials, educational talks. Our goal is to share our passion for cosplay and help support younger generations in their cosplay expressions and creativity. We believe that everyone should share in the joy of cosplay!

T-Mobile

At T-Mobile, we mobilize in support of the LGBTQ+ community because we are stronger when we embrace diversity. Our strength is in our community. In our ability to lift each other. In our unwavering commitment to reach for more equity and justice for us all. Whether you’re sharing your identity boldly, speaking up for our basic rights, advocating for marginalized voices, or just being yourself in a world that tells you to hide, your visibility is a daring act of bravery, and courage inspires more courage. We’re proud to be one of the best places to work for LGBTQ+ employees since 2013. Diversity and inclusion make us who we are. That’s why we’re proud to have scored 100% on the 2022 Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, making us one of the best places to work for LGBTQ+ employees for the tenth year in a row.

This year, we must stand together with courage, even when it feels like we are being forced to hide. And, on behalf of those who are unsafe, the rest of us must be more visible. The ongoing legislative attacks on our trans and nonbinary family and friends call us to celebrate our collective visibility. When our community dares to be visible, more voices are heard, stronger bonds of solidarity and connection are built, and more of us are inspired to be daring.
