The Elton John AIDS Foundation has been in touch. They say "It’s Pride Month, and we’re more motivated than ever to create meaningful change for LGBTQ+ communities across the world. In recent years, we have witnessed a surge in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the globe but we’ve dedicated ourselves from the outset to protect the rights, health, and wellbeing of these communities. We will not stop until everyone has equal access to care and support, and thanks to our incredible partners and the generosity of our supporters, we continue to make progress each day. Through the initiatives we proudly fund, we have goals to decriminalize same-sex behavior in 11 target countries; empower local LGBTQ+ organizations to effectively advocate for their rights; and increase funding aimed at improving LGBTQ+ health and promoting equity. This Pride Month, we’re thrilled to highlight our outstanding global partners who are rising to the challenge with us, including Versace — who is donating 10% of the purchase price of every Versace 2024 Pride collection item until January 31st, 2025 — and others who are as committed to this cause as we are." Corporate Partners whose support of the Foundation has been welcomed this year include American Airlines, Walmart and Ebay. So keep these in mind when making bookings and purchases and show them the love back.
