This past weekend, Trojan continued its vibrant partnership with Bushwig 2024, held at the Knockdown Center in Ridgewood, NY, reaffirming its commitment to queer communities. Building on last year’s successful debut, this year’s activation featured Trojan’s BareSkin Raw condoms and Infinite Glide silicone lube, aligned with the empowering theme “As Raw As It Gets.”
Attendees (including Drag Race superstars Luxx Noir London, Megami, Kandy Muse, Dawn, Plasma, and Xunami Muse) were drawn to the brand’s popular photo area, where Trojan-branded mints, lip balms, and condoms were distributed, adding a playful and functional touch to the festival atmosphere. Festivalgoers’ moments were captured by queer New York photographer Danny Bristoll, and all images are now available in his gallery for viewing, download and social sharing here. Plus, we picked out some of our favorite photos from the event below!
Trojan’s ongoing relationship with Bushwig has led to deeper community connections, including its partnership with Callen-Lorde, a leading LGBTQ+ healthcare nonprofit. This collaboration began last year, when Trojan made a donation to honor Simone Babes Trust, Bushwig’s beloved co-founder, after her untimely passing. The Callen-Lorde partnership, born out of this tribute, continues to provide invaluable health services to the queer community.
Beyond Bushwig, Trojan remains deeply involved in the LGBTQ+ community year-round, forging impactful partnerships with influencers and events. Over the last few years, Trojan worked with prominent queer influencers such as Kyle Krieger, whose content received widespread recognition on platforms like Out.com, and Gunnar Montana, a performance artist known for his immersive, queer-themed installations. Influencers like Mo Heart, a celebrated Drag Race alum, and Jackie Cox, who advocates for Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ representation, have also amplified Trojan’s messaging of sexual empowerment and inclusivity.
The brand’s year-round commitment extends to events like DragCon LA and activations in Provincetown, as well as partnerships with emerging influencers like Deafies in Drag and Joel Moore, who bring important visibility to underrepresented communities within the queer community. Through these ongoing collaborations, Trojan has firmly established itself as a brand that authentically supports and uplifts LGBTQ+ voices, reinforcing its dedication to inclusive sexual health and empowerment.
