Pro Pride Month Features

DustiO

As a lesbian in tech and the leader of our ProudTacks ERG (LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group), I am super excited for upcoming Pride month. As part of Pride month here at Thumbtack we would love to feature some of our pros who are members or allies of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You will be featured internally to team members, and possibly on social media like LInkedIn, IG, or FB. If you're interested in being featured, please comment below or send me a DM.

Here's an example of what we'll be doing internally:

@DustiO I don’t know where to go to find my DM’s. I guess I’m not familiar with this TT community website.

@erinparsley If you are on your desktop computer or laptop it's in the upper right hand corner next to your profile pic (you haven't uploaded a pic so you'll just see a little round icon) and next to it there is a little envelope icon. If you're on your phone you'll see the little icon in the upper right hand corner, if you click on it then a pop up will appear with the little envelope icon. Hope this makes sense! If it doesn't work just LMK and I can email you.

Thank you!!

@erinparsley @Emabrazz I sent you both DMs with more info - if you didn't get those let me know and I can email you!

@erinparsley and @Emabrazz I just wanted to follow up here to make sure you got my messages and are able to access the slides I sent you? Let me know! Thank you!

Although I’m not pleased with Thumbtack right now, the story behind our wedding business is unique. I was living in Louisiana and discovered that people in the LGBTQIA+ community were going through horrible abuse by wedding vendors in the Deep South…..finding an affordable officiant was next to impossible.

I began the business with just myself, officiating weddings, making a point to advertise EVERYWHERE “LGBTQIA+ Friendly.”

Four years later, the business has expanded and we offer multiple other services at affordable rates (decorating, coordinating, etc). We discovered that couples with religious beliefs like Paganism, Wiccans, VooDoo, Spanish speaking, and many others also had problems hiring wedding vendors, so we welcomed those communities into the fold. And we offer free interpreting services.

We now have 10 employees; many are also members of the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition, we have pounded the pavement and created a network of thoroughly vetted vendors who share our philosophy. People who were previously underserved by wedding vendors no longer have to run through the gauntlet, grinding their teeth and waiting to be attacked by vendors who oppose their lifestyles.

Of course, we serve ALL couples wanting to enter into legal, consensual marriages.

Cheers,

Kristi
