Bu...Yeah Mons baby, it's kinda the same thing. But the Story Orgy is actually donating 100% of the profits from our first anthology to the Trevor Project. <br /><br />So yes, we are donating like Old Navy is - but we haven't limited it to 10% . . . we have put our own money and time into this antho and are giving 100% of the profits for the first 90 days of sale . . . it's something we strongly believe in and take great pride in also!<br /><br />Thanks for giving it a shout out Mons *hugs and smoochez* and oh yeah - if I can find these shirts my girls would love them!Havanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116528705614786647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-21169059758345143942011-06-25T08:21:13.363-05:002011-06-25T08:21:13.363-05:00*blinks* How did I miss this??

I ...*blinks* How did I miss this?? What the heck? <br /><br />I think Angel said it best, so I'm not going to repeat it, but yeah, the company would want to test the market. That's actually common place in the retail industry. <br /><br />I think it's awesome that they are donating to the IGB charity. Simply amazing. :)<br /><br />Great post, Lee!!Em Woodshttp://www.authoremwoods.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-90169567877440640502011-06-24T21:11:39.887-05:002011-06-24T21:11:39.887-05:00We can't even buy them at all in Canada.

Homophobia and the like i...I totally agree, Angel. Homophobia and the like isn't going to go away overnight, but I think the more 'positive' attention and light that can be cast upon it, the better. Of course, this company isn't going to make these tees and give them away. That's ridiculous. And, like you said, Lee, 10% of sales from THIS company will amount to a whole lot of cash going to a great cause. I think it's a great thing they are doing.<br /><br />Is it because gay is cool right now? More than likely, but isn't that better than nothing? A company like this has a bottom line and that is to make money. I don't see any other company with this kind of exposure stepping up to the plate. I LOVE those tees. I wanted them for my whole family. I was going to send my kids to school on the first day in them, but I do live in Tennessee, and not only can we NOT say gay in school, they wouldn't sell the shirts here either.<br /><br />I am sad that this company didn't get to make a dollar off of me. The bigger picture would have been worth it.<br /><br />You're donating sales of your own to The Trevor Project, isn't that the same thing they are doing? You should buy a tee if you can and wear it for me.Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16555501886959689611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-23299387983697110002011-06-24T08:32:30.424-05:002011-06-24T08:32:30.424-05:00TY all for the visits and comments and thx to Lee ...TY all for the visits and comments and thx to Lee for being a guest!S.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-52089115430469126682011-06-24T06:18:54.658-05:002011-06-24T06:18:54.658-05:00Retailers are businesses. They're not charitie...Retailers are businesses. They're not charities. Are they in it for the money? Damn straight.<br /><br />However...<br /><br />When a retailer decides that a cause is important and hot enough to MAKE money, we can spot waves of public opinion behind it. The retailer wouldn't make these shirts if they thought said shirts wouldn't sell. And the reason they know the shirts will sell is the groundswell of support.<br /><br />It's the tide behind the greed that's important.

Apparently a lot of that is going on in America. It's just weird for me. <br /><br />I've been scribbling slogans of my own, because I got a similar idea when I started writing m/m stories (one of my characters wears a lot of tops with slogans on them), but I probably won't print any T-shirts until maybe next year - if I do it at all. It's not that I'd be nervous about selling such T-shirts, it's just that I like to use my time writing. Who knows, though. Maybe next year's Gay Parade ^.^ I do know that I'd donate a bunch of it to the Icelandic "The National Queer Organization" (as they call themselves) and wouldn't really be in it for profits - more for the fun.<br /><br />All I can say is the more awareness, the better.Erica Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933868814239473239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-16472523024243224342011-06-24T05:43:03.191-05:002011-06-24T05:43:03.191-05:00Love your insight as always Lee . . . but trust me...Love your insight as always Lee . . . but trust me, you are so much more than a trend! *winks* An addiction maybe . . . hee hee<br /><br />My kiddos may not have those shirts either, due to the fact they are severely limited to certain areas . . . but there are other ways to support the importance of equality for everyone and my kiddos and I try to share our voice! :)<br /><br />I love Telling the Truth . . . love this whole series! <3 *hugs and kisses and lots of loving obviously* *giggles*Havanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116528705614786647noreply@blogger.com
