I love wearing rainbow colors because they symbolize happiness and new opportunities. They also symbolize inclusivity and is the official symbol for Pride Month. The entire month of June is dedicated to Pride celebrations all over the world and here are the brands that give back to support our brothers and sisters.
Many people think that making rainbow and Pride products is a marketing gimmick employed by retailers. I think it’s a great way to raise awareness. Some brands even donate 100% of proceeds to their chosen organizations.
For some brands, it’s a great place to start and continue to support LGBTQ populations beyond Pride month.
Below is a list of brands that have created limited edition collections to support LGBTQ initiatives. Check out these awesome rainbow-colored apparel and gear from brands that give back to LGBTQ organizations when you do (and when you don’t) buy from them.
Just a heads up, this list contains a whopping 70 participating retailers! Happy shopping!
