This is awesome news.
It sucks that this has to be a thing, that there has to be organizations to combat homophobia or sexism or anything like that (referencing some of the stories about female drivers getting involved etc)

The ambassadors include both industry professionals and racing drivers:
The release also names the following entities as Racing Pride industry partners:
Both the ambassadors and partners are set to work together to better promote LGBTQ+ inclusivity in motorsports:
The new ambassadors, together with these strategic partnerships, will give Racing Pride and its positive message of inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community an impactful presence at events spanning North America and across multiple disciplines. Combined with Racing Pride’s existing European network, this announcement represents a major step in creating a global LGBTQ+ movement in motorsport and its associated industries.

Tom's a class act.
I agree that it's a shame that, you know *wildly gesticulating at the state the world*
It's sad that this has to exist, but I'm glad it does. I'm ordering a sticker now.
What ever it takes to give everyone a place at the table. I just want to hang out and do car things with everybody.
Also awesome to hear about Out Motorsports' inclusion. GRM is well represented! Saw the news earlier on Motorsport.com
Awesome. I had him autograph a Sportscar magazine at a TNIA years ago. He was on the cover and I said I wanted it for when he became famous. This was still fairly early in his pro career.
In reply to Jerry :
Tom's like our own rock star. In all seriousness, I love seeing our friends sign autographs. Hopefully it helps justify all of the sacrifices that they have made.
My sticker arrived today.
The guy is a great driver and a snappy dresser. I think this is the first time I've ever seen him without sunglasses on.

Tom is a great guy and a snappy dresser and, yeah, a rare non-glasses shot. I took that in victory lane at Daytona.
