Rihanna supports LGBT (movement to help those in Russia)
Rihanna just posted this image on Instagram of her wearing a Principle 6 beanie by Alexander Wang, an item of clothing being sold as a sign of support and solidarity amongst LGBT people and their allies in protest of Russia's harsh anti-LGBT policies.
She also posted a link to a New York Times article explaining the movement:
Quote:
The Principle 6 campaign involves the visual promotion of the phrase Principle 6, the number 6 and the logo P6—on clothing, for example—as a way of flagging support for gay rights. It has caught fire since I last wrote about it on this blog, which was the first place to report on it as an alternative to some of the other ideas that advocates had floated, such as having athletes wear rainbow-flag pins or having athletes of the same gender hold hands during the opening ceremonies.
Quote:
Wang’s beanie will be sold starting on February 1, at his Manhattan flagship and by various retailers, either online or in stores, including Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Moda Operandi, Jeffrey, and Fivestory. It will cost $125 and the proceeds will go to the Principle 6 campaign and to Russian groups.
Wang told Vogue that it’s meant for “athletes, fans—anyone and everyone who believes in equality and nondiscrimination, both of which are entirely compatible with the spirit of the Olympic Games.”
Yes, it is. One of the most famous and visible people in the world is using her platform to show support for LGBT people around the world, and shedding light on the injustices taking place in Russia.
But it is, I've been watching the Olympic games and have yet to hear anyone touch base on this issue. So it's nice to see Rihanna and Alexander Wang raise awareness.
So loving, charitable, and caring.
