The Human Rights Campaign designed two different Pride hats in order to celebrate and support the LGBTQ community during the month of June.
Given that this marks Pride Month, the affordable hats are perfect for showing your love for the community and stating your opinion on Donald Trump at the same time. The Pride hats make use of the republican candidate's discriminatory campaign slogan, changing the now iconic "Make America Great Again" baseball caps to say "Make America Gay Again," with a more inclusive "Make American LGBTQ Again" version offered as well.
Both versions of the Pride hats are available in a navy blue and red, with the patriotic colors making it even more like the Trump hats that it satirizes. All proceeds go to the Human Rights Campaign's "fight for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality."
