NEW YORK — Ohdoki will donate $5 for every Handy stroker sold through its website during Pride month, to support New York City’s Ali Forney Center in its mission to protect and empower LGBTQ+ youth.
The center was founded in 2002 in memory of Ali Forney, a gender-nonconforming teenager who tragically lost their life. Forney’s experience as a homeless LGBTQ+ youth inspired the establishment of the center, which aims to assist young people dealing with the perils of homelessness and equip them with the necessary tools for independent living.
“At Ohdoki, we believe in a world where sexual health and pleasure are accessible to all, regardless of circumstances, sexuality or gender,” said a rep. “We recognize the challenges faced by those who, due to various restrictions, are often denied the opportunity to explore their sexuality. This is why we have aligned our values with the Ali Forney Center’s vision of creating a world where all LGBTQ+ youth can thrive.”
