Harry’s is a Platinum corporate sponsor of the Trevor Project, an organization that advocates for controversial sex and gender ideology, including “gender transition” drugs and surgeries for minors, through legislation, litigation, advertising, and PR campaigns. The organization also hosts online chatrooms that allow adults to communicate with minors as young as 13 about sexually explicit topics. Adults in these chatrooms have encouraged minors to adopt transgender identities and withhold this information from their parents (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Harry’s donates all profits from its Pride line to a variety of LGBTQ groups, including GLAAD and The Trevor Project (6)(7)(8). The company sold a “Pride Shave Set,” which included a card featuring a poem by a gay poet who is “keenly interested in the intersection of identity, power and legacy.” Harry’s donated $5 of every set sold to the Trevor Project (9). Otherwise, there are no publicly known cases of the company using corporate funds to advance ideological causes, organizations, or policies (10).
