A FASHION STATEMENT FROM THE WOOL OF GAY SHEEP
Rainbow Wool is the first fashion made from the wool of gay sheep to support LGBTQIA+ projects across the globe.
SHEARING IS CARING
GAY SHEEP –
WHAT THE FAQ?!
Did you know that about 1 in 12 sheep is gay? And we are not just talking about rams. According to scientists, same-sex behaviour has been documented in over 1500 species. You see, queerness is quite prevalent on planet Earth. But sadly, there are still many people that have a problem with it. The shocking truth is: 62 countries still criminalize same-sex relationships – that’s right, it’s illegal to be gay in one third of the world! And even where it is not illegal, cases of queer hostility are increasing – including in Germany. This is why we are getting the help from a gay flock of rams in a small town in Germany: We are using their wool to create fashion products that support projects for the queer community.
MEET THE WORLD’S FIRST GAY FLOCK OF SHEEP
Sorry to be a bit of a downer, but gay rams are typically sent to the slaughterhouse because they are not able to perform their “breeding role” on the farm. The good news is, we have been buying them before they end up in this rather unfortunate predicament. Now they are allowed to live and love freely on our farm for the rest of their lives. Plus, as they need to be shorn once a year, we use their wool to create fashion products that people like you can buy here on this website.
WEAR WITH PRIDE
You can choose between various caps, patches and shoelaces that have been made of the wool from our fabulous flock of gay sheep. Each Rainbow Wool purchase supports the LSVD⁺ (the largest NGO for queer rights in Germany) to continue the amazing work they do for the LGBTQIA+ community in Germany and parts of the world, where it’s illegal or dangerous to be queer.
THE
RAINBOW FAMILY
Let’s be honest: It takes a little bit more than a flock of gay sheep to change the world. This is why we are endlessly grateful for everyone who believed in our project and keeps supporting us with love, motivation and pro bono commitment. Thank you.
