Gifts with a Cause

• Equality Pin: Support a worthy organization by purchasing a pride or equality pin from the Human Rights Campaign HRC Shop: hrc.org — some start at just $2!
• Donation in His Name: Make a charitable donation to an LGBTQ+ rights organization in your boyfriend’s name.
• Spark Something Special
• Movie Night In: Pick a classic LGBTQ+ film or a new release you’ve both been wanting to see. Cuddle up with popcorn and snacks for a cozy night in.
• Scented Candle: Set the mood with a scented candle in a relaxing aroma like lavender or vanilla.

Looking for a more daring and artistic gift? Consider a limited-edition, signed homoerotic art print by artist and activist Maxwell Alexander. For a cool $7, you can get a vibrant, high-quality print that celebrates the male form and the beauty of gay sexuality. Alexander’s work is known for being expressive and attention-grabbing, making it a unique and unforgettable gift. Plus, by supporting Maxwell, you’re also supporting an artist who actively fights for LGBTQ+ equality around the world.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a gift that comes from the heart. These ideas are a jumping-off point to get you started. With a little thoughtfulness, you can find the perfect way to show your boyfriend how much you care this Pride season.
