Lin-Manuel Miranda Releases 'Love is Love' T-Shirt to Help Orlando Shooting Victims
Actor and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda has taken the words from his 2016 Tony Awards acceptance speech sonnet and put them on a t-shirt that will not only spread a positive message about love but will also help make a difference.
On June 16, Miranda announced his newest project on Twitter and revealed the exclusive "Love is Love" t-shirt.
"So here's a thing that speaks for itself. I'm very excited about it and it's a way you can help," he tweeted.

The shirt was created in partnership with Broadway Cares and the proceeds will be given to Equality Cares in Florida, an organization that strives to achieve equality and justice for the LGBT community in the state.
The featured design, which features words from the sonnet Miranda read when accepting the Tony for Best Original Score for "Hamilton," was created by artist Jessica Sporn from Montclair, NJ and is the first of its kind.
Several other designs are expected to be added within time and those who order their t-shirts now can expect to receive it by late June.
