These shorts are part of the Coach Pride Collection, a celebration of equality, diversity, and authentic self-expression within the LGBTQIA+ community this month and every month. Paying tribute to two legendary gay and lesbian summer resort communities on Fire Island, NY, near New York City, the cotton drawstring waist style features a graphic inspired by The Tea Dance, an afternoon see-and-be-seen dance party event first held in 1966 at The Blue Whale, a waterfront bar and eatery located in The Pines.

This year marks a decade of partnership between the Coach Foundation and the Hetrick-Martin Institute, and continuing partnerships with the Point Foundation and CenterLink Community of LGBTQ Centers. All three organizations create supportive environments where LGBTQIA+ young people can thrive. Learn more at coach.com/coachfoundation.
