Others discreetly showed their support by not featuring Pride-related products on homepages but tucking away statements of support elsewhere on their websites.

Nine companies on this list of 63 said they donate a share of proceeds to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit specializing in suicide prevention for youth who identify as LGBTQ.

And although this article focuses on private-sector companies that celebrate Pride Month, public-sector examples abound.
