June is Pride Month—if you wondered, the month was chosen in honor of the Stonewall riots, which occurred June of 1969—and a ton of brands are participating in the celebration by releasing themed Pride merchandise. If you think you don't need another T-shirt or tote bag, well, let me assure you: You can always stand to have one more. Because now's your chance to shop with purpose. Sales and proceeds from the Pride items below benefit organizations dedicated to helping the LGBTQ+ community, including GLAAD and The Trevor Project. If you're not into any of the products, you can just make direct donations to the foundations of your choosing. Shop with #noregrets, below.
