In honor of our PRIDE candle, we teamed up with 9 incredible LGBTQ+ creators who helped bring our vision to life through images, videos, and storytelling.

These talented friends-of-HLC epitomize everything the PRIDE candle represents: brightness, positive energy, advocacy, and most importantly…FUN! They have truly inspired us, and we think they'll inspire you too.
