Pride Month Merch That Gives Back To LGBTQ Orgs

It's June, so Pride Month 2017 is officially upon us. Throughout the month (and for the rest of the summer, really), cities across the globe will be holding parades and festivals to celebrate the LGBTQ community, as well as the history of the LGBTQ movement. It's not only an excuse to break out your best activist gear to get excited about equality, but also a reminder to support the organizations that work to give back and advocate for the LGBTQ community. The good news? You can do both at the same time by putting your money towards merch that gives back to LGBTQ organizations. Win-win.

Massive brands as well as smaller companies are using their products for good, partnering with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, the Harvey Milk Foundation, and local non-profits and LGBTQ centers to make a difference and give back. From tees to hats to totes, there's something out there for everyone. So if you're looking for the perfect thing to wear to your city's parade or festival, there's nothing better than buying something that actually gives back. Not to mention, it can be a great conversation starter about the organization if anyone offers up a compliment on your Pride-ready gear.

Here are ten pieces that donate a portion of proceeds to LGBTQ organizations.
