Pride Alliance's Mission
Pride Alliance provides a welcoming community for employees who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and/or asexual, as well as our allies. The mission of Pride Alliance is to:
- Promote an inclusive and safe work environment where LGBTQIA+ employees and allies can be their authentic selves
- Champion global inclusion and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people across Gilead and beyond
I’ve also truly enjoyed connecting with my fellow Pride leaders and building strong, collaborative relationships along the way.
I’m genuinely happy to work for an organization that actively champions inclusion and empowers employees to bring their whole selves to work – an environment that continues to inspire how I lead with empathy and purpose.”

Pride Alliance Impact
Pronouns for Inclusion
Pronouns affirm gender identities while fostering an environment of respect, safety and inclusion, especially for our transgender and non-binary colleagues. Pride Alliance successfully launched an initiative to embed personal pronouns into all internal systems including the intranet, online meeting, email signatures, and, most recently, internal contact cards. Pride Alliance continues to collaborate with other teams to expand this program beyond the U.S.
Enhancing Benefits
Working with the benefits team, Pride Alliance helped identify opportunities to support the needs of our employees.
Events & Community
Pride Alliance continues to champion LGBTQ+ inclusion through impactful programming and visibility efforts. This year, the group hosted a Transgender Day of Visibility panel in partnership with GenderCool, held Pride Month flag-raising ceremonies across multiple sites and celebrated with Pride brunches and parades across the globe. The launch of cross-ERG mentoring circles and a cross-ERG allyship event further strengthened community and collaboration across the organization.
