ToughPigs Pride Month Charity Drive
Hi there!
So I’m running a Pride Month charity drive through the Muppet fansite ToughPigs.com. We’re raising money for Southern LGBTQ charities through merch and a contest!
I wanted to make this post to gather relevant links and information to share more easily. So what’s going on? Read on!
1. WE ARE SELLING PRIDE SHIRTS AND OTHER MERCH TO RAISE MONEY FOR SOUTHERN LGBTQ CHARITIES.
That’s right! We designed some pride shirts and other stuff, which you can find at our TeePublic page. You can also learn more about what’s available here.
The proceeds will go to the Campaign for Southern Equality and Equality Florida.
The list of designs for this fundraiser is as follows:
Person in Your Neighborhood
Whatever (also available in rainbow and in nonbinary colors)
Kermit Pride
2. WE ARE RUNNING A CONTEST
Donate money to Equality Florida or the Campaign for Southern Equality, and send your receipt to
[email protected]. For every $10 you donate, you’ll be entered to win AN ORIGINAL PRIDE JANICE REPLICA MADE BY OUR PAL EMILY ENGEL! (runners up will have a chance to win Richard Hunt-themed magnets made by me)
For more details on that contest, click here! The deadline is 6/24 at 8:30 PM Eastern.
3. WE’RE HOLDING A PLEDGE DRIVE STREAM ON 6/24 AT 7:00 PM EASTERN!
We'll be announcing the contest winner then. Plus art, games, and special guests! Visit the ToughPigs YouTube page!
Wow, so many cool ways you can help important marginalized groups! All that plus we’re posting interviews with trans and nonbinary puppeteers and more queer articles! Check it out!!!!
Thanks for helping us help LGBTQ people all over! Spread the word!

rewatching the muppets (2015) is so funny because I’ll be like “oh I remember there are some rlly funny bits actually!! it had so much potential!” and then I watch it and just go
“gonzo has. gonzo has parents? what is this universe because that would solve a lot of questions and character points that I actually don’t want to be solved”
“aw yeah no walter :( he’d be so sad he wasn’t in this”
“pls don’t be a misogynist like that *character I love*”
“I HAD ALMOST MANAGED TO BLOCK OUT THE FACT THEY TRIED TO STRAIGHTIFY SCOOTER”
“sAM AND J A N I C E ?!”
