Tahrir Scarves for Gay Pride
Che Guevara and many revolutionaries have donned Tahrir scarves, elevating these soft cotton accessories to iconic status.
Fae entrepreneur and yoga bud Johnathan Morpurgo has given a twist to these all-weather scarves, by designing them in the colors of the gay flag—a statement against revolutionary homophobia.
JoMo consulted his design with Gilbert Baker, the recently-passed creator of the rainbow flag.
Baker approved of Jomo's idea to make the scarves in gay colors, and facilitated the exact numbers of the dyes he used in making his original flag.
In honor of Baker and Gay Pride, I am wearing three iterations of the scarf, all available at TahrirScarf.com or Facebook.com/morpurgo.
