One out of 12 rams (male sheep) is uninterested in females and prefers the company of males. They are deemed “non-procreative” (worthless to a farmer) and sent to slaughter. So this German farmer, Michael Stücke, rescues the gay rams and forms the company Rainbow Wool, selling wool from the gay sheep. Collaboration between Rainbow Wool and Grindr resulted in a fashion show called I Wool Survive. It featured 36 unique looks by designer Michael Schmidt, made entirely from the wool of the gay sheep, and celebrating queer identity through knitted and crocheted archetypes like Fireman, Sailor, Jock, Daddy and more. Proceeds from sales went to LGBTQA charitable organizations.
In a culture of Stephen Miller and Peter Thiel, be a Michael Stücke or a Michael Schmidt. Make art, make beautiful things, make people laugh, promote inclusivity, promote fabulousness- and find a way to accept whatever you consider “useless sheep.” Maybe instead of killing them, help them become Rainbow Wool. RESIST. And do it in style, if you can. -
