Celebrating Pride Month
Pride Month is a celebration of the impact that the LGBTQ+ community has had on making this world a better place. We are thrilled to be launching a new Pride exhibition in the Tableau Public Viz Gallery during the month of June - we hope you’ll take the time to explore the gallery and walk away feeling like you learned something new. Check out all the featured authors in this exhibit here.
Learn more about Alexander Vassilev, his visualization ‘The Unequal Impacts of COVID-19 on the LGBTQ and Transgender Communities of Color’ and his experiences with the Tableau Community in this featured blog post.
