Pride Month, as a summer-long celebration of diversity, acceptance and love, will continue on this year — though not without controversy. Within the past year or two, it seems to have become more socially acceptable for brands to scale back on or forgo entirely releasing 'Pride-themed' collaborations. We'd already seen merch get pulled before under the guise of 'safety' when faced with conservative backlash or controversy. But in a climate where brands like Target are rescinding many DEI efforts for employees — joining American corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Ford — the companies who are still releasing Pride Month collections in 2025 are starting to stand out from the pack.

Brands working with the LGBTQ community isn't new, but we've seen many more companies this year either choose to stay silent on their support (Nordstrom, Gap, and Kohl's, who all highlighted Pride Month efforts last year, have not done so this June), or pull their funding from Pride events entirely. According to a survey of more than 200 corporate executives by Gravity Research (a risk management advisory), 39% say they plan to scale back public Pride Month engagements this year.
According to a YouGov study in 2024, though, nearly half of Americans say they prefer brands that are willing to get involved in social issues (the number jumps to 64% from just LGBTQ-identified respondents alone). Authenticity is clearly key here, and despite industry-wide hesitancy, the brands that are putting their money where their mouth is are choosing to donate to worthy causes and stand up to hate. We've rounded up several collaborations to shop for Pride Month 2025, from brands that are using their platform for good. Each of these collections either partner with LGBTQ artists, or have a portion of proceeds go to support a number of prominent and worthwhile causes.
shop Now on levi's
While any brand can just slap a rainbow on their usual offerings, Levi's 'Meet You In the Park' Pride collection this year is inspired by queer liberation iconography, paying homage to the history of togetherness and the importance of safe spaces for all LGBTQIA+ folks. This release comes off the heels of a majority of the company's shareholders overwhelmingly shutting down an attempt to roll back DEI initiatives.
Levi's Pride 2025 collection was inspired by 'nightlife and early queer meeting spaces', taking design cues from historic queers symbols like the inverted pink triangle (a Nazi-era symbol that was worn by gay detainees in concentration camps), which was reclaimed in the Seventies by gay rights movement leaders. Levi's team also took visual references of the Archives of the GLBT Historical Society, especially for a denim jacket with the phrase 'I know you know' on the back, and the rainbow-themed patchwork and embroidered on their hats and shirts.

Inside A Joyful D.C. WorldPride Music Fest With Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Zedd, More
Jennifer Lopez performs during the LuisaViaRoma for Unicef event at La Certosa di San Giacomo Eyes and ears around the globe may have been trained on the evolving and very public cat fight between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, home to the WorldPride Music Fest just four miles from the White House, there was nothing but love, joy and dancing during Day 1 of the fest, with scant references from the stage to the feud or the administration that's been trouncing on LGBTQ+ rights with a slew of executive orders. The focus, instead, was on celebration. 'We are singing and dancing right here on their front lawn, misbehaving. Yes we are,' said liner Jennifer Lopez, who expressed her allyship and gratitude to the community. 'Over the years your love and your support have been a source of strength for me and today I am here to celebrate you,' she said. 'I'm so happy to be able to be here to celebrate community, diversity, love and freedom.' Besides Lopez, Marina, Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, Galantis, LP Giobbi, Tinashe, Betty Who and Zedd—who DJ'd a preparty at Utopia DC the night before—were among Day 1 performers. Day 2 features headliners Troye Sivan and Rene Rapp, Kim Petras, Raye, Sofi Tukker, Purple Disco Machine, RuPaul and more. Here are some highlights from the first day:

Dropkick Murphys and Veterans Rally Against Trump for ‘Disrespecting the Vets'
'Music is sometimes a good way to kick the front door open,' says Ken Casey, the co-lead singer and bassist for the Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys. On Friday, the 81st anniversary of D-Day, Casey and his band took to the stage on the National Mall, the headline act as several politicians and activists rallied thousands of veterans in a march on Washington D.C. Ostensibly, the rally — organized by an array of veterans groups and backed by labor unions, such as the AFL-CIO — was a non-partisan protest against proposed cuts to veterans benefits and to the federal workforce, including at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In reality, it was an expression of rage against President Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda. 'I think there's a lot of people in America that think this is a fight between the far right and the far left. And it's not,' Casey tells Rolling Stone. It is impossible to make substantial cuts to the government without disproportionately impacting veterans, who make up nearly 25 percent of the federal workforce, but only five percent of employed Americans as a whole. The VA alone is facing losses of nearly 83,000 jobs, as proposed by the department's secretary, Doug Collins — about 18 percent of its total workforce. 'When we join the military, we take an oath to this country. And they, in turn, promise certain benefits if we serve,' says Everett Kelley, the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, or AFGE, which represents about 750,000 government workers across the country. 'If you start attacking those workers that provide the services to the veteran then you are attacking, indirectly, the veteran.' Kelley says his members are keenly watching as lawsuits contesting job cuts make their way through the courts: 'They're saying that they want us to continue to stay in this fight. They are very relieved that the courts are seeing that these decisions are not rational, and that they are not in accordance with our Constitution.' 'We are winning some of these battles, but that's not where we want to be. We want to be winning the war,' he says. As the rally warmed up, Rolling Stone caught up with Casey. 'The facts are that the Trump presidency and all those involved are disrespecting the vets. And that's my opinion. And we're going to sing about it,' Casey tells Rolling Stone. His gentle voice purrs with an unmistakable Boston accent as he sits on a shady bench in the sweltering heat. 'We all know what's caused us to be here.' 'People are slowly waking up to it. I do think that the Trump plan of just throwing so much shit at the wall does work. It makes people just want to put their head in the sand,' he says. A young woman nearby, who this reporter later learns also hails from Boston but encountered the protest by accident, curiously eyes the 56-year-old punk rocker — with his old-school sailor tats, dapper black outfit, and neatly trimmed crewcut — and his interlocutor. She strains to listen in without being rude — it's not every day a founding member of one of your hometown's iconic bands plops down beside you to talk politics with a reporter, after all. 'I think that that's part of what keeps the moderates away, and part of it is that 'It's not affecting me personally right now,' and that's why that famous old statement from, I forget who said it: 'First they came for the trade unionists, and then they came for me,'' Casey says, summarizing a confessional-turned-poem by Martin Niemöller, a Lutheran pastor imprisoned by the Nazis, of which there are many versions. It's not the first time on this day that Rolling Stone hears a direct reference to the Nazis, or the rise of totalitarian political ideologies in the 1920s and 30s — fascism on the right, and communism on the left. The organizers of the rally, a recently established non-profit called the Unite for Veterans Coalition, likens their movement to the 'Bonus Army' of 1932 — a group of World War I veterans who took to the streets amid the Great Depression to get cash payments that had been promised to them — and talk admiringly about Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, a legendary U.S. Marine who was instrumental in crushing a clumsy fascist coup attempt against President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. Here, now, in Washington D.C. on the anniversary of Operation Overlord, many veterans consciously sought to evoke that past — summoning the days when America had offered the lives of its citizenry to defeat a dictator. 'Dad Fought Fascism in Europe,' one man's sign says. 'We Will Fight it Here.' A woman holds another: 'My Grandpa Fought Nazis.' Two men carry flags with three downward pointing arrows, one saying 'American Iron Front' on it. This reporter asks Kris, the Navy veteran holding it, what the flag represents. He says that he is part of a local anti-fascist chapter, formed during the first Trump administration. He is aware that the Iron Front was a political paramilitary that fought the Nazis, among other forms of totalitarianism: The three downward pointing arrows are generally considered to represent opposition to Nazism, Communism, and Monarchism. One of the lessons of that era is that political extremism, fueled by proliferating violence and a masculinity crisis among young men, can create the conditions for the failure of a democracy. It forms part of the rationale for why the veterans who organized the rally say they are focused on cultivating a non-partisan, moderate movement. The fight to claim the political allegiance of veterans is, after all, a proxy battle in the war for the future of the American Republic — and both sides get a vote when it comes to war. Veterans largely voted in favor of Trump during the 2024 election, perhaps 60 percent to 40 percent. While Trump and his supporters may be ceding some of that ground by cutting veterans benefits, others are waiting to build movements around the political legitimacy supposedly conferred by veteran status. Far-right extremists have been omnipresent throughout modern American history, and veterans are a natural target for cultivation by ideologues. Right-wing paramilitary groups like the Three Percenters are explicitly aimed at veterans and law enforcement, while groups like the Proud Boys or Patriot Front adopt the language, dress, and symbolism of the War on Terror-era military. What is common to all of them is the implied threat of violence against dissent, and a willingness to take to the streets. Political violence is nothing new, and a number of the veterans who spoke to Rolling Stone fear that civil unrest will be used as a pretext for a government crackdown on liberties, perhaps even used in an attempt to justify martial law. Other vets were at the rally to protest job cuts inflicted by Trump and Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency. A thirtysomething former Marine mortarman who asked to be identified only as Andrew says that he lost his job at the Veterans Administration due to the DOGE cuts. He traveled from Michigan to show up at the protest. 'I wasn't really political before,' Andrew says. 'Like, everyone knows when you're the one liberal in an infantry battalion, but back then I didn't give politics much thought.' 'Now, I'm fucking furious. I'll show up for anything,' he says. Damian Bonvouloir graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1978, and served in the Navy until 1986. He describes generations of family that had served in the military or in federal jobs, proudly counting them on his fingers as he shouts their relationship and role, while the Dropkick Murphys take to the stage. Bonvouloir carries a sign with a shamrock and the words: 'Who'll stand with us?' That is a reference to 'Who Will Stand with Us,' a new single which in the band's promotional material is described as 'an urgent call to action to stand up against division and inequality.' 'So here we are on D-Day today, and it's like everything that so many of our grandparents fought for — you're willing to just walk away from that, because you feel like the world's too 'woke?' What? How did you do the math there? Like, what do you care if someone else wants to be woke?' Casey says. 'Was it really worth it to surrender the democracy of the country, just so you could feel a little more like you had your guy win? It just doesn't add up.' Casey tries to put his money where his mouth is. Last month, he traveled to Ukraine as part of a mission to deliver desperately needed ambulances and medical aid. He sees the conflict there as part of the same fight that brought the veterans to the National Mall. 'People over there are defending democracy, and people over here are defending democracy,' he tells Rolling Stone. The Dropkick Murphys new album, For the People, comes out on July 4 on the band's own label. There's a lot of energy and anger, and much of it is clearly political. But Casey is hesitant to describe it as a protest album: 'Not every song is directly in relation to what's going on. But I think even when you're writing music that doesn't directly relate, the times shape that music.' 'There's a song on that album about the day my father died when I was a kid, that I never thought I'd write,' he says. 'And I'm just saying… maybe you get to the point where you don't take for granted that you'll be making music in the future, and maybe the times just make you feel an urgency for everything in your life.' At the rally, one of the biggest responses from the crowd was for a punk cover of the bluegrass song 'Dig a Hole in the Meadow,' an anti-fascist anthem from 1927, popularized by Woody Guthrie and others: 'Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow. Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground. Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow. We're gonna lay you fascists down.' Clearly a band whose eleventh album was titled This Machine Still Kills Fascists, is unapologetic about both its politics and its embrace of America's early anti-fascist traditions. 'I just feel when people say now, like, 'Shut up and sing!' — whatever. I feel OK. We've been going for 30 years with the same message,' Casey says. 'Listen, if you're a punk band and you can't write good angry music in these times… Then something ain't working, you know what I mean?'

Poles march for LGBTQ+ equality after presidential vote raises fears
By Thomas Holdstock GDANSK, Poland (Reuters) -Thousands of Poles took part in a Pride march in the northern port city of Gdansk on Saturday, showing their support for the LGBTQ+ community amid fears for its future after nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki won a presidential election. Participants waved rainbow flags and the blue, pink, and white banners representing the transgender community. Many carried placards bearing messages such as "Love is love" and "12 years together - when civil partnership?". A parallel Pride event was also held in the western city of Wroclaw. Nawrocki, supported by the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, has raised alarm among LGBTQ+ advocates. During its time in power from 2015 to 2023, PiS made opposition to what it termed "LGBTQ+ ideology" a central part of its platform, framing it as a threat to traditional values in the predominantly Catholic country. "I was devastated to be honest," 23-year-old student Agata said when asked about Nawrocki's victory. "I am scared. I don't know what our future looks like." Although LGBTQ+ issues were less prominent in Nawrocki's campaign than in that of his PiS-backed predecessor Andrzej Duda in 2020, his platform included commitments to resist "ideology in schools" and to oppose adoption by same-sex couples. He has stated that marriage should remain between a man and a woman and, while rejecting civil partnerships, expressed a willingness to discuss legal recognition for a "close person", regardless of sexual orientation. In contrast, a pro-European coalition that came to power in 2023 introduced a draft bill to legalise civil partnerships. However, with the presidency holding veto power, the bill's future remains uncertain. Agata said that she hoped a law on civil partnerships could come into effect, but that it was unlikely during Nawrocki's presidency. "I want more equality in our society, in our country," she said.
