Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has designed a t-shirt to raise awareness and funds for legalizing gay marriage.
Jacobs' t-shirt features a lesbian couple and their child and the words, “I pay my taxes, I want my RIGHTS!” on the front, and “Marc Jacobs Proudly Supports Human Rights Campaign” on the back.
The t-shirt, designed exclusively for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest gay rights advocate, is available online at the HRC shop (www.shop.hrc.org) and HRC retail outlets in Provincetown, Palm Springs, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
Also available at the HRC shops is Los Angeles-based designers Alex & Chloe's Proud Collection, which was introduced last October to celebrate National Coming Out Day. The collection includes a custom dyed t-shirt which features eight screen printed activist buttons – “Gay is great” reads one button, while another raves “I heart HTC” – and retails for $35. A laser-cut black acrylic “equal sign” pendant hanging from an antique brass extender chain retails for $55. A Kenneth Cole-designed t-shirt which features Uncle Sam with the caption “I WANT YOU … YOU'RE SO REPEALING (DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL)” is also for sale.
