June 28th marks the 51st anniversary of the first Pride March, in New York City, which kicked off a tradition of commemorating the history-changing 1969 Stonewall Uprising and championing the queer community. While the tradition is longstanding, the importance of supporting and empowering vulnerable communities seems more clear than ever. (The Stonewall Uprising was, after all, led by Black trans organizer Marsha P. Johnson.)
In addition to demonstrating and donating directly, you can make an impact by updating your beauty routine: We’ve rounded up some of our favorite beauty and wellness brands that are either LGBTQ+ owned, or donating a portion of their profits to LGBTQ+ charities this month. Below, check out 17 brands that are giving back.
