JAKARTA - There is one thing that netizens highlight on social media during the implementation of Formula E. One of the racing teams, namely ROKit Venturi Racing, is campaigning for the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT).
In response to this, Vice President of Communications for Formula E Jakarta, Iman Sjafei, admitted that the organizing committee did not know that one of the racing teams was campaigning for LGBT in the race title.
"Oh yeah? We don't even know", said Iman when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, June 7.
Iman said that the executive committee did not actually take care of this. This is because the LGBT logo in the electric car race on Saturday, June 4 was not campaigned by the organizers or the Formula E Operation as the agency holding the Formula E license.
"We have no interest in judging and managing this (team). We don't want to talk too much about it", said Iman.
"We are working with FEO and FEO, there is no problem with that at all. If FEO supports LGBT, or in the form of sponsors supporting LGBT, that might still be our consideration. Well, if this is only one team", he continued.
Previously, there was a lot of discussion regarding the support campaign for Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) carried out by one of the teams, namely ROKit Venturi Racing. This can be seen clearly in their uploads on Instagram.
In the upload, the Formula E team displays photos of their cars with colorful flags or rainbows, which are often used as symbols of LGBT.
"For us, June is dedicated to raising voices, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, and showing why we are #PoweredByPride", the caption accompanies the post.
"We are proud to present our exclusive #PrideMonth livery", the post continued.
