Can you feel the excitement in the air? It's that time of the year again when love is in full bloom, rainbows are everywhere, and the LGBTQ+ community takes center stage. That's right, it's Pride Month, and Atly is joining in the celebration!

Atly has always been about bringing people together around finding and sharing the best places to go, for whatever you’re into, anywhere in the world! In honor of Pride Month, we're shining a spotlight on some of the incredible LGBTQ+ Atly Creators who are making their mark with awesome Atly maps. 

First up, hailing from the windy city of Chicago, Illinois, we have Courtney the Explorer (@courtneytheexplorer) who’s mapping the best LGBTQ-friendly businesses around Chicago in her map, LGBTQ+ Chicago. Check it out!

Next, a shout out to Cass and Alexa (@twofemmegems) and their Local’s Guide to Washington DC map! If you’re looking for the best LGBTQ+ hangs in the DC area, as well as great spots to check out near where all the Pride action will be happening, look no further. 

Get your eyes on model/actor/fitness coach Clayton Maxywell’s (@clayton_maxywell) muscles… ahem, map, MaxyMap, for his favorite spots around Florida! Next time you’re planning a trip to the Sunshine State, you’ll know exactly where to go!

Drumroll please for our next Atly Creator, Josh Rimer, formerly Mr. Gay Canada! He’s a travel influencer you can see on YouTube and follow on his LGBTQ-friendly map, Josh Rimer Travels. He’s mapping his travels as Mr. Gay Canada, including the Pride events he visited around the world, gay clubs, LGBTQ-owned businesses and more. 

And finally, we have NYC-based Avidan and Ari (@breitzboys) who are putting the Big Apple’s finest LGBTQ+ date spots on the NYC Date Spots map for all to enjoy! Check it out here.

These remarkable individuals are just a glimpse of the LGBTQ+ mapping rockstars who are changing the game and making our world a more inclusive place. Atly is proud to be their partner, helping them share their favorite places and insights about where to go with a global audience.

Happy Pride Month, folks!
