The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has collaborated with pop star Ke$ha with a unisex T-shirt to encourage everyone to celebrate their inner superstar and come out for equality.
Launched to coincide with National Coming Out Day, Oct. 11, and as part of the Musicians for Equality series, the T-shirt features a purple zebra, an empowering color which symbolizes ‘spirit’ on the rainbow flag, a symbol for LGBT Pride and the inspiring words, “We R Who We R” along with HRC’s equality logo and Ke$ha’s signature on the front. The Musicians for Equality series is a collaborative project from the HRC which celebrates musical artists’ contributions to the fight for LGBT equality and universal acceptance. From straight allies offering messages of hope to openly LGBT artists sharing their personal experiences, each musician has made a commitment to achieving equal rights for all. Energized by collaborations with designers Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis, Christian Siriano, Heatherette, Alex & Chloe, Nike and American Apparel, HRC is proud to offer musical voices to the growing chorus of LGBT rights supporters.
100 percent of the proceeds from this T-shirt will support HRC’s commitment to LGBT equality. The T-shirts are available online at shop.hrc.org. They are constructed of 100 percent cotton and retail for $35. Only 1,000 T-shirts will be produced.
“Much like a zebra doesn’t change its stripes, we hope people of all walks of life, LGBT and straight allies, celebrate themselves and their unique contribution to the fight for equality,” said HRC president Joe Solmonese.
