Can’t Cancel Pride was created during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many Pride events around the world were forced to cancel, limiting LGBTQ+ community visibility and decreasing fundraising activities for critical LGBTQ+ organizations.

In 2023 alone, Can’t Cancel Pride reached over 23 million viewers and listeners.
