As pride month comes to a close, it’s clear that Derek Warburton is an example of how far we have come with supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Endlessly teased for his sexuality and as a cheerleader in high school, Derek is now cheered for who he is. This support was evident by the overwhelming success of the launch of his new makeup collection Derek Fabulous for FACE Stockholm.

Celebrities, tastemakers, and even royalty rave about the Derek Fabulous Pride Collection. It became an instant Hollywood hit! Understanding the difficulties that LGBTQ+ youth face, Derek decided to donate all proceeds from the collection to GLSEN, an organization started by educators to provide needed support to LGBTQ+ students in schools across America, something we need now more than ever!
