The Human Rights Campaign and Showtime have partnered on "Queer to Stay: An LGBTQ+ Business Preservation Initiative" to provide support and help preserve businesses that serve the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on LGBTQ+ people of color, women and the transgender community.
Due to the crippling COVID-19 pandemic, businesses across the country have either closed temporarily or shuttered permanently to help mitigate the spread of the virus.
LGBTQ+ businesses in particular suffered greatly due to canceled Pride festivities during the month of June and beyond. "Queer to Stay" seeks to help support a number of those businesses by donating funds, per today's announcement, though specific dollar amounts were not revealed.
