#GayIsOk

Can you imagine a world where loving someone could be illegal?  Well this is true in 76 countries, because it’s a crime to be gay, including 10 countries where it’s punishable by death.  And in no country in the world, do lesbian, gay, bi or trans people have full equality.  As a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community and a human being I think this is unacceptable! 

#GayIsOk

 is the new campaign from

LUSH

, which launched on June 25th and will run until July 4th.  During this time LUSH will be selling the

Love Soap

, which is a fun and deliciously scented gold bar soap with all proceeds going to support grassroots LGBTQ equality groups all around the world!  The idea is to share the love by using social media to snap a picture of customers with their Love Soap and to let the world know why they think #GayIsOkay.  The funds raised will be granted to the groups through the

All Out

website.

Help spread the word and support those that need our help to have the same basic rights to love that you have.  Everyone should be allowed to love, because no one has the right to take love away from anyone else.  Being gay should not be seen as a crime, and it’s time the world woke up to that fact.  I think #GayIsOk and I hope you will show your support by making the $5.95 donation to All Out and smelling fantastic as a result!  The Love Soap will be available in LUSH stores everywhere and online.   

Everyone deserves love!  

p.s Happy PRIDE Week to everyone in Toronto!
