Hey John,

Pride Month comes with parades, playlists, and plenty of merch. But the real magic is in the commitments that last. In 2025, as corporate support continued to shift, these brands chose to lean in — not just with words, but with resources and real support for LGBTQ+ youth. Because Pride isn’t just a trend. It’s action.

Commit these names to memory. When it mattered, these brands showed up, amplifying queer voices, funding impact, and helping create spaces where LGBTQ+ young people could feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

From longtime allies to first-time funders, their support fuels our mission and sends a powerful message to queer youth everywhere: You matter. You belong. And your future is worth investing in.

Let’s give credit where it’s due. To the brands that don’t just celebrate Pride. They embody it.
