T-Shirts: HRC Teams Up With American Apparel

From the Human Rights Campaign:

HRC, The Ally Coalition (TAC) and American Apparel have launched the “Make America Gay Again” and “Make America LGBTQ Again” campaign to raise awareness for LGBTQ equality. The campaign features a limited-edition tank top and t-shirt, which includes the phrases “Make America Gay Again” and “Make America LGBTQ Again”.

Thirty percent of American Apparel’s sales and 100 percent of sales from hrc.org/shop will support the effort to pass the Equality Act and the fight to end LGBTQ discrimination. The Equality Act is a comprehensive federal non-discrimination bill that was introduced in Congress last year.

While the Equality Act, which provides basic protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, access to public spaces, housing, education, jury service, credit and federal funding, awaits action on Capitol Hill, the patchwork of current LGBTQ legal protections leaves millions subject to uncertainty and potential discrimination. Just this year, over 200 anti-LGBT bills have been introduced in 31 states.
