NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - American comedian Billy Eichner and Canadian YouTube star Lilly Singh on Sunday kicked off an event of music, comedy and personal stories to raise funds for the LGBT+ community during the coronavirus pandemic.

Pop musicians, actors and politicians mainly from the United States, all performed or gave rallying calls from their homes during the “Together in Pride: You Are Not Alone” livestream to support LGBT+ community centres across the country.

Curated by GLAAD, a U.S.-based LGBT+ advocacy group, the event, which raised over $225,000, was the latest celebrity effort to mark the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people worldwide. With revenue streams dried up, fundraising events canceled and no relief in sight, some centres are being forced to close.
