To mark **International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia** (IDAHOBIT) on **Sunday, May 17** and **LGBT+ Pride Month** in June, **IKEA** has announced it will be selling an LGBTQ+ rainbow flag version of its iconic blue **FRAKTA** bag with **100% of profits** distributed to support local LGBTQ+ initiatives, charities and causes chosen by IKEA stores across the UK and Ireland.

The **STORSTOMMA** bag, which will cost **£1.50**, aims to promote standing up against discrimination of the LGBTQ+ community and promoting equal rights not only on IDAHOBIT but every day.

Peter Jelkeby, Country Retail Manager and Chief Sustainability Officer of IKEA UK and Ireland, commented: *‘At IKEA, our culture is centred on the value of togetherness. We believe equality is a human right and that everyone deserves a home where they can be themselves.*

*‘We know that lockdown will disproportionately affect the LGBTQ+ community. With many isolated from their support networks, and with Pride celebrations postponed, it has never been more important to show our support and encourage everyone to provide a safe and welcoming space for members of the LGBTQ+ community and ‘be someone’s home’.*

*‘We will donate 100% of profits from the STORSTOMMA bag to the important work being carried out by local LGBTQ+ initiatives, charities and causes that have been chosen by IKEA stores across the UK and Ireland.’*
