United has an ongoing commitment to LGBTQ+ equality which includes a proud history of firsts. United was the first U.S. airline to fully recognize domestic partnerships in 1999 and the first U.S. airline to offer non-binary gender options throughout all its booking channels. United also was the first public company to be inducted into Pride Live’s Stonewall Ambassador program in recognition of the airline’s commitment to LGBTQ+ equality in 2019. Through EQUAL, the airline’s LGBTQ+ Business Resource Group, more than 2,600 members work together to advocate on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, working with members and leaders companywide to develop ways to deliver resources, education and advocacy.<\/p>\n

This year, EQUAL designed United branded Pride merchandise including a special edition enamel pin. Proceeds from sales of the pin will be donated to Togetheride, the virtual AIDS\/LifeCycle event supporting San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. The pin and other Pride items are available in the United Shop.<\/p>\n
