LGBTQ+ Affiliate Marketing Programs You Can Promote Today
Posted 2 years ago by Jordan Sanders
June marks Pride Month – when the LGBTQIA+ community comes together to celebrate across the globe. Every year, during June, the LGBTQIA+ community celebrates in several ways. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place way back in 1969.
So can you utilize commerce content to support Pride Month? Of course. And you should if you’re in for the fight for equality.
Below we have collated a list of affiliate programs you can promote. These programs are founded by LGBTQIA+ persons, ambassadors for equality year-round, and/or supporters of important social initiatives in the community.
