MSD Thailand Backs Trans Pride 2026 for Second Year Running

MSD Thailand announced on July 14, 2569 that it is backing Trans Pride Thailand 2026 to reinforce its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion during Pride Month. The company is supporting the event through the TRANSMISSION exhibition—powered by AIS, titled "Cross Gender, Cross Time, Toward Equality"—held at AIS Siam in Bangkok from June 12–16, marking its second year of support under the MSD Gives Back program.

The company also launched MSD All Gen(ders) Run, a diversity-connecting running event at Lumpini Park, demonstrating MSD's commitment to advancing equality both within the transgender, non-binary, and intersex communities and internally within the organization. The belief is that equality is a fundamental right everyone in society deserves.

Trans Pride Thailand 2026, now in its third edition since 2567, is a national pride festival for transgender, non-binary, and intersex communities and is an official member of InterPride, the international pride organizers' association. This year's event centers on the concept of "passing power" across generations and from visibility to structural and economic influence, reflecting confidence that transgender equality is vital to driving sustainable social progress.

Over five days, multiple activities celebrate diversity and pride linked globally, featuring three main highlights: the TRANSMISSION exhibition showcasing the economic and cultural value of the transgender community across four experience zones (SEEN on Thai transgender history, MOVE on rights and legal equality, WORTH on the Trans Economy, and WORLD on Thai soft power); Talk Series forums covering law, health, creative economy, and family; and Boost Camp workshops for transgender and gender-diverse content creators at AIS SIAM STUDIO, fourth floor.

MSD sent representatives to speak at the "EARN YOUR WORTH" forum, sharing real experiences in building organizations that embrace gender diversity and promote equality for all. Beyond supporting Trans Pride Thailand, MSD reflected Pride internally through MSD All Gen(ders) Run, the company's first such event at Lumpini Park, born from collaboration between two MSD employee networks: Next Gen Network (young employees) and Rainbow Alliance (gender diversity network). Employees were paired with buddies differing in age, gender, background, or department to run, walk, and enjoy Color Hunting activities, demonstrating MSD's internal and external commitment to driving equality.
