Michael Kors and husband Lance Le Pere join American LGBTQ+ Museum board of trustees
Michael Kors and Lance Le Pere have joined the American LGBTQ+ Museum board of trustees. The fashion icon and his husband are "thrilled" to be joining the museum at a vital time, with the inaugural physical site due to open in autumn 2027 at the New York Historical, where it will take up 5,000 square feet of gallery space. Michael and Lance said in a joint statement: "We are thrilled to join the board of trustees and be a part of such a historic endeavour. "It's more important than ever to preserve and celebrate LGBTQ+ history and culture. Our community has such a rich history and so many stories to tell.' The American LGBTQ+ Museum was founded in 2017, and has since preserved, celebrated and investigated the history and culture of members of the LGBTQ+ community. Ben Garcia - who serves as the museum's executive director - added: "We are honoured to have Michael and Lance join our board. "They bring an enormous amount of expertise in philanthropy at a local and global scale, and we are excited to have their incredible leadership, dedication and generosity on our side." Michael and Lance have lived in New York City for a long time, and are keen supporters of many philanthropic causes, including NYC-based God's Love We Deliver, which since the late 1980s has provided medically appropriate meals to people with critical illnesses. Back in 2013, the Michael Kors company launched the Watch Hunter Stop campaign in support of the United Nations World Food Programme, while Michael is also a goodwill ambassador for the WFP. He previously told the Vancouver Sun newspaper: "In the late '90s, when I started going to Paris for CELINE, I started travelling back and forth and I realised, we're all in this together. 'It's empathy for your neighbour — not just here across the street, but also for your neighbour around the world. "It seemed that the one thing, unfortunately, that was a problem everywhere around the world, was the idea of nutrition and hunger.' The couple have also supported other local, national and global charities, ranging from the Roundabout Theatre Company, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the NAACP to Planned Parenthood, the World Wildlife Fund and the New York Restoration Project.

What started as a response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic has grown to support individuals facing over 200 diagnoses, including mental health conditions, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and sickle cell disease — ensuring that nobody has to face illness alone in the Big Apple.

If you or someone you know — a neighbor, a friend, a colleague, a loved one — lives in the NYC metropolitan area and could benefit from God's Love We Deliver's free, medically tailored, home-delivered meals, please reach out at Advertisement If you would like to share your story about God's Love We Deliver, please do so at Client James with God's Love President & CEO Terrence Meck James W. Client since 2024 The face of HIV/AIDS has changed drastically since the founding of God's Love We Deliver forty years ago, but the care God's Love provides its clients living with HIV/AIDS (and all other life-altering illnesses) has not. Advertisement James, an artist from South Dakota, moved to New York City in 1976 with dreams of making it in the art world. Two decades into that journey, everything changed when he was diagnosed with AIDS. Faced with the fear of losing not only his livelihood but his life, James found strength through community. James felt a spark of purpose. Surrounded by others facing the same fight, he poured his heart into advocacy — using art and storytelling to amplify the voices of people living with AIDS across all five boroughs. Today, James is still here — and he credits his Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the medically tailored meals from God's Love We Deliver for helping him feel the healthiest he's ever been. Not only does James feel better, but he's got the numbers to prove it: James's bloodwork has improved, and his doctor attributes this to meals from God's Love We Deliver meals. 'God's Love gives me good, nutritious food. My diet has never been better. You can't feel healthy if you don't have good-quality food. It makes a world of difference.' James, current GLWD client James faces the challenges of living with AIDS —and aging—with a support network he never thought he would be able to have at the time of his diagnosis. James thanks God's Love for improving his health with each meal and brightening his day with each smile he receives at the door.
