Crypto Altruists: Real-World Stories of Social & Environmental Impact with Web3 Episode 58 - Pride in the Metaverse - How web3 can help advance LGBTIQ rights, ft. Katie Hultquist from OutRight, and Hackatao
In Episode 58, we have the privilege of being joined by Katie Hultquist, Director of Leadership Giving for OutRight International, and Sandie and Paola, who are here on behalf of Hackatao. We discuss the recent partnership between Outright and Hackatao for the Pride with a Purpose Campaign, the role web3 and NFTs can play in advancing LGBTIQ rights, how we can build a more inclusive web3, the importance of decentralization and why it’s worth preserving, and much more.
Check out the full shownotes with Bios for Katie and Hackatao HERE.
Three Key Takeaways
- The web3 space can provide sustenance and community to Queer people – by providing a safe space for people to find a community of support, including through Pride events in the metaverse, and by supporting the livelihoods of Queer artists.
- Being an ally means taking action, not just talking. Those in the web3 space need to make sure Queer people are included in their leadership, to create spaces to uplift Queer artists, and to financially support LGBTIQ artists and movements.
- In web3 it’s all about community and collaboration. We have an amazing opportunity to learn from the mistakes of web2 and create the most inclusive web3 possible, and it all starts with collaboration. The Pride With A Purpose campaign is a great example of how collaboration can drive change.
