Meet the gay sheep making bold fashion statements in aid of LGBTQ+ causes
In a groundbreaking and very sweet initiative, a farm in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is shepherding the world’s first openly gay flock of sheep.
To add to the sweetness, Rainbow Wool is launching the world’s first collection made from the wool of those cute gay rams. Farmer Michael Stücke, who shepherds the sheep and is also openly gay himself, is leading this unique effort from his farm in Löhne.
Stücke’s farm offers a new cyclical and sustainable way of supporting the queer community by transforming the wool of gay rams into fashion products that give back to LGBTQ+ projects.The initiative partners with LSVD+ (Federation Queer Diversity), the largest non-governmental LGBTQ+ rights organisation in Germany.
LSVD+ is part of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), which advocates for queer rights on a global scale.
