in brief: beyonce releases LGBT inclusive underwear line
Searching for the perfect Valentine’s gift? Beyonce’s new range of underwear might be just what you’re looking for.
Designed specifically for Valentine’s Day, the new ‘Yours and Mine’ box sets are proudly LGBT inclusive. Sold directly from Beyonce’s website, the $40 sets feature boy-shorts and boxers emblazoned with the words ‘yours’ and ‘mine.’ The sets are available in packages for both same-sex and heterosexual couples. And if that wasn’t enough, they come in designer boxes, lined with pink tissue paper.
Beyonce has been known for her views on equality. In an interview with Flaunt magazine last July, she spoke about how she felt being grouped with icons such as Cher, Barbara Streisand and Madonna.
‘I’m flattered if I’m in the company with those great women,’ she said. ‘I think they love that we are bold, unafraid to love, and flaunt our sexuality and strength.’
This is great, I’ve been baffled for years by the lack of LGBT inclusive marketing/products, although not sure ownership should be part of any relationship (or am I just being un-romantic?)
