What do a farm of gay sheep, a legendary designer, and a dating app have in common?

Rainbow Wools story mirrors the experience of so many LGBTQ+ people, cast aside for being different, yet thriving through community. Together, were proving that connection can transform exclusion into celebratory expression.I Wool Survive Fashion Show.Its been a pleasure to create this light-hearted collection of pieces that also address a very serious topic, said designer Michael Schmidt. The mistreatment of animals that exhibit same-sex attraction is a painful reminder of the prejudice that continues to affect LGBT communities worldwide. Hopefully, by illustrating that homosexuality exists throughout the animal kingdom, we can help put to bed the false and damaging notion that being gay is a choice."I Wool Survive Fashion Show.

Scientific studies have shown that around one in twelve rams naturally prefer other males, and while many of these animals are typically sent to slaughter, our farm offers them a different fate, said farm owner and shepherd, Michael Stcke.This collaboration with Grindr proves that being gay is part of nature itself, and Im proud our sheep can help people see love and diversity in a new way. The wool from these rams isnt just material, its a message spun from animals who live freely and are loved.I Wool Survive Fashion Show. I Wool Survive Fashion Show. I Wool Survive Fashion Show.
