Glamazon decorated all of our corporate buildings in London; hosted a pre-Pride extravaganza at our head office with special guests and performers; fundraised for charities and invited all corporate employees to enjoy a slice of rainbow cake while talking to glamazon about what it means to them to have an open and diverse workplace.\n\nAt the parade, members of glamazon and lots of our allies marched with thousands of others listening to hits from [Amazon Music](http://amzn.to/2sFQFAN) - the event’s first official music partner.\n\n“We had over 140 people who identify themselves as LGBT+, allies, friends and families march with us, representing different communities at Amazon and embracing the true spirit of togetherness,” said Luca Sale, co-chair of the UK glamazon board. “It was fantastic to help recognise and celebrate the LGBT+ community and the important role diversity plays in our communities and our business.”\n\nYou can visit the Amazon Pride page [here](http://amzn.to/2tFdtSa) or listen to the official Pride in London playlist on Prime Music and Amazon Music Unlimited [here](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073SB1YBS/ref=dm_dp_pl_rdr).","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
