Lesbians Who Tech Summit Adds Pete Buttigieg, Sophia Bush To Speaking Line-Up

June 8, 2021• byMichael Strangeways

As always, the upcoming Pride Edition Lesbians Who Tech summit has a star studded roster of big names from the world of politics, finance, business and the entertainment industry for their 2021 edition happening for five days beginning June 21st.

For past summits, they’ve had everyone from Hillary Rodham Clinton to Kamala Harris and for this month’s Pride Summit, they’ve just announced:

Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who made history as the first openly gay spokeswoman and first Black woman to lead a White House press briefing in 30 years.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay Cabinet member who is leading America’s effort to move us away from fossil fuels and spark a sustainable energy revolution to help combat the climate crisis.

Sophia Bush, actress, producer & activist who is a staunch supporter of LGBTQ rights, as seen in her protest of Prop 8. She is also a founding member of the movement Time’s Up, where she created a clothing line benefiting Planned Parenthood and gave a speech at the Women’s March.

Alexis Ohanian, who spent an entire week on Capitol Hill lobbying business leaders and lawmakers from both parties for a national family leave policy.

But, not necessarily in that order.
