These Pride Collections Actually Give Back To LGBTQIA Causes
Where to spend your money this month
Pride Month is officially in full swing, and that means lots of brands are doubling down on rainbow-hued, glittery products. However, though there's a ton of new limited-edition Pride-inspired clothing, accessories, and beauty products, it’s important to keep in mind that only some of these brands are actually doing their part in supporting the community, too. It takes a lot more than just selling rainbow t-shirts to give back to those in need.
To make things easy, we rounded up the 13 coolest Pride Month collections to shop this June, all of which give to LGBTQIA organizations such as The Trevor Project, the It Gets Better Project, the Human Rights Campaign, and more.
With so many parades and parties heading our way, look no further than the below to get your looks covered. This way, you can look good and do good.
