As of Wednesday afternoon, the company&#8217;s Instagram comments remained open for the promotional post, which features drag queen Pattie Gonia, who is also a co-founder of the non-profit organization The Outdoorist Oath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Csl3BZINw7v\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=d219a38e-f9a5-4b17-b1c2-ddb9882fd50b\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Csl3BZINw7v\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=d219a38e-f9a5-4b17-b1c2-ddb9882fd50b<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The promotional video hints at the elements of the upcoming event \u201cSummer of Pride,\u201d with references to \u201chiking, community, art, lesbians,\u201d and \u201clesbians making art.\u201d Last year, this event was held in multiple cities, sponsored by the brand itself. The current year&#8217;s Summer of Pride is scheduled to take place in Atlanta and Salt Lake City. The Instagram post caption reads, \u201cNature lets you be who you are, so, for the second year in a row [North Face] is hosting Summer of Pride together with [Pattie Gonia] (they\/she) to celebrate you and all the beautiful ways you get outside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post further elaborates that the event is more than just a hiking tour. It includes workshops, panels, and activities catering to all outdoor enthusiasts, embodying the belief that exploration can manifest in a myriad of shapes and forms. Negative feedback that appeared in the thread was addressed by The North Face Trail, an official Instagram account of the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Face is the latest company to come under fire for supporting the leftist LGBT agenda.
