I strongly believe in the “right to be happy.” Everyone deserves this right and no one should be excluded. Yet, in 2021 some of us are still being denied our basic human rights. I may not know exactly how our LGBTQIA+ community truly feels and the obstacles they face on a daily basis but I will gladly stand with them and demand equality. Hoping one day in the near future that it becomes a reality. This week, I am featuring products that support Pride month and those who choose to live by how they feel❣️and love whoever they choose to love.
Boy Smells Pride Rosalita Candle $39
If any of you have been following my column, then Boy Smells should look familiar. I am a huge fan of this company and what they stand for. From now until the end of July, 10% of all proceeds sold from “The Pride Collection” will be donated to The Trevor Project. With a minimum donation of $100,000. The Trevor Project is the nation’s leading organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth. boysmells.com

This powerful slogan t-shirt has gained so much popularity, we can now call it iconic.

Rachel who identifies as queer also focuses on giving back to many organizations such as Planned Parenthood, The Lesbian Herstory Archives, and The National Center For Transgender Equality.
