In its 52nd year, Pride Month is here. It's a time for activism, education, and joy. While the LGBTQ+ community should be supported and celebrated year-round, June is an especially important month to recognize the community. And because it's Pride, there are many brands and businesses that are looking to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community. It's become a tradition for brands to have special initiatives and collections to celebrate the month.

It's important to note that brands have been criticized for capitalizing on the month and just pushing out Pride-themed merchandise, but not showing their support year-round. So, if you do want to use your wallet to show your support this June, make sure you're buying from a company that's actually making a commitment this month and beyond.

Below are some wellness brands that are making big moves in honor of Pride. If you're so inclined, consider putting your dollars toward them.

1. Adidas

Adidas has continued partnerships with Athlete Ally and Stonewall, in an effort to push for inclusion in sports around the world. This year, the brand collaborated with queer Australian artist, Kris Andrew Small, to create a collection that "brings visibility to the many voices of the LGBTQIA+ community." The collection is inspired by the pop art and graphic design of the '70s and '80s.

2. Alo

Alo's 2022 Pride Collection is called "Move With Pride," and is all about mindful movement and authenticity. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the line will benefit the Human Rights Campaign.

3. Beekman 1802

Beekman 1802 has a limited edition Bloom Cream for Pride Month, with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Ali Forney Center, which helps LGBTQ homeless youth in the United States. The founders Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell said, "As a brand founded by an out gay couple, Pride isn’t a marketing campaign for us. Pride is our autobiography. It serves as an opportunity to remind us of the unique challenges and obstacles we faced when we launched 14 years ago and others continue to face in business and their personal lives. We may all be different but we have an obligation to lead the way for other LGBTQ+ and minority lead businesses to thrive, through Kindness to both self and others."

4. Cure Hydration

In support of the month, Cure announced that it will donate 20% of proceeds from sales of its Hydrating Electrolyte Starter Kits to the It Gets Better Project. The female-founded brand also donates 1% of proceeds annually to Shels, a nonprofit that supports gender equality in sports.
