Throughout history, LGBTQ+ people have fought to be heard and accepted.
Thanks to their strength and resilience we have come a long way.
Being free to embrace and express our truest selves is something we all
deserve, but for many, it is still a struggle they face every day.

#PowerToBeMe
Campaign
“It took me 30 years to understand and to get to know myself and I keep learning everyday from myself and others. There is always something great to learn from every single human or being.”
You shouldn’t have to choose between safety and being who you are.
Over half of LGBTQ+ young people* said that, before becoming homeless, their family members stopped them from expressing their LGBTQ+ identity.

“My advice to anyone trying
to understand who they are is
that there is no blueprint for
coming out...I trickled out...
and it worked for me. Do
whatever works for you,
on your timescale”
This year, our compact styler is all about LOVE and
is proudly wearing the rainbow flag.
Created in the 1970’s in San Francisco by Gilbert Baker, the rainbow
is a worldwide symbol of diversity and the LGBTQ+ community.
Feel the LOVE and carry your PRIDE, wherever your journey takes you.
