In recent years, June has evolved from a celebratory month for LGBTQIA people into one that touches on many lives in many ways. And one of those includes companies tripping over each other in an attempt to give back through special collections whose proceeds result in social impact. There are dozens of products out right now whose purchase sends a portion of the sale to an LGBT-specific group, but we wanted to showcase brands that are giving back 100% of what they get, donating it to various groups and advocates. If you want to have some impact with your buys this summer, consider grabbing a piece from a collection for yourself or as a gift for someone you’re proud to care about.
