Bungie donating Pride Pin profits to Trans Lifeline this November
Bungie is selling a Pride Pin in its US store, with all profits in November donated to charity Trans Lifeline.
The news was announced via an in-game message in Destiny 2. Community manager dmg04 shared the message on Twitter.
"During November, Bungie is standing with the transgender and gender-nonconforming community to raise awareness and work to end anti-trans violence," it reads. "All profits of the Bungie Store's Pride pin will benefit Trans Lifeline to provide support."
In a further message, dmg04 explained that unlike similar pins for disability awareness, Black Lives Matter, and International Women's Day, the physical Pride Pin is separate to the in-game emblem for your guardian. That way the emblem is accessible for all and not just those who buy the pin.

We mentioned an emblem when introducing Trans @ Bungie earlier this year. While we don't have news this week, stay tuned for a future TWAB.https://t.co/2wYMOOdZAo pic.twitter.com/37UCqJjEGH
