Every year San Francisco holds a Pride parade, and this year marked the 44th parade where people from all over the globe march in support of the LGBT community.

This year thousands of Apple employees were in attendance at the parade, they were joined by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Apple’s Environment Director Lisa Jackson.  All employees wore a specially designed T-shirt and handed out iTunes gift cards.

Apple recorded a video of the parade and have now released it to the public. This text accompanied the video:

On June 29, thousands of Apple employees and their families marched in the San Francisco Pride Parade. They came from around the world — from cities as far as Munich, Paris, and Hong Kong — to celebrate Apple’s unwavering commitment to equality and diversity. Because we believe that inclusion inspires innovation.

Apple has long been outspoken on the importance of equality for all employees, Tim Cook in particular was vey encouraging of Congress supporting the Employment Nondiscrimination Act.
