In an industry known for its rebellious and "f*ck that" attitude, FA World Entertainment is taking the concept of diversity in skateboarding to new heights.
Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen's company has recently launched a collection that celebrates and embraces the LGBTQIA+ community for Pride month.
Their bold move showcases their commitment to inclusivity and highlights their dedication to breaking barriers and promoting acceptance within the skateboarding world.
Skateboarding has long been a subculture that welcomes individuals from all walks of life, irrespective of their backgrounds, identities, or orientations.
It has served as a platform for self-expression and a means to break societal norms.
FA recognizes the inherent ethos of skateboarding and has made it a core part of its brand philosophy.
The rich and diverse LGBTQIA+ community inspires the designs, featuring colorful graphics, empowering slogans, and symbols representing various identities.
By incorporating these elements into their products, FA aims to create a sense of belonging and empowerment for LGBTQIA+ skateboarders and their allies.
Hence, Dill and AVE's company becomes the latest to suffer backlash for the LGBTQIA+ support for supporting the Pride month merchandise.
While the collection was intended to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community, it, unfortunately, drew criticism from some quarters, highlighting the complexities and challenges surrounding issues of representation and inclusivity.
