Pride 2021 is right around the corner. And, while there probably won’t be a lot massive parades or celebrations happening, brands are still gearing up for it with new collections. The Walt Disney Company is preparing for Pride in a big way with its Rainbow Disney Collection.
The line includes an array of items from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and
Star Wars properties. It features a bit of everything from apparel to stuffed animals. There are backpacks, fanny packs, hats, and masks. Honestly, there’s no way the company could have done this without masks. Everyone is selling them because, well, they are a big part of our existence right now.

From the pins and tees to the iconic Mickey Mouse ears in rainbow colors, Disney is going all-in with their new key of inclusivity for guests as well as cast members. The new line of rainbow-colored official Disney products which for the first time include the More Color, More Pride flag as well as the Transgender Pride Flag, Bisexual Pride Flag, and Lesbian Pride Flag comes just in time for Pride Month, and part of the profits will go to support LGBTQ+ organizations like GSLEN in the US, Diversity Role Models in the UK, Minus 18 in Australia, and trans organization ARELAS in Spain, in addition to others.
