    42 Brands With Pride Products That Actually Give Back to the LGBTQ+ Community


    These Pride-themed products actually support the LGBTQ+ community...

    pride products

    It’s June, and that means we’re once again surrounded by countless rainbow-colored, Pride-themed products. But which ones actually benefit the LGTBTQ+ community and which ones are just for show?

    Of course, we always have to be wary of Rainbow Capitalism, as Target has shown us this year. Even when a large company like Target can have a huge Pride collection for years, they can still give in to pressure from homophobes.

    These products all are sold with the idea of actually helping the LGBTQ+ community, whether it's through hiring queer artists, donating to charities, or partnering with LGBTQ+ organizations.

    Scroll through to find out which brands are giving back. (And we'll be updating this roundup through the entire month of June.)
