On Monday, June 17th, Mastercard will continue its support of World Pride with a street sign installation at the intersection of Gay and Christopher Streets called "Acceptance Street." The street sign continues Mastercard’s #AcceptanceMatters initiative and is a symbol of support for the growing LGBTQIA+ community, 50 years after Stonewall. The official street sign now expands from Christopher and Gay to now read Christopher and Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Non-Binary, Pansexual, Two Spirit, + Street. Mastercard worked with the city's Human Rights Commission to sanction the signs which were then crafted by the same company that builds street signs for New York City.
Agency: McCann Worldgroup, New York
The effort signifies Mastercard’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, diversity and acceptance.
