It is the charity fundraising calendar that uses all of its most valuable assets. Since 2009 the men’s rowing team at Warwick University in England has been creating a calendar to fight homophobia, but the best part is the men are naked. Now the women’s team is trying to do the same thing except Facebook calls it “pornographic.”
The male’s calendar benefits Sports Allies, which is an organization that aims to combat homophobia and transphobia through the power of sports, reports People. The latest issue sold over 15,000 copies around the world.
Yet for the ladies, it is not as easy. After the production of their calendar, their photos were removed from Facebook as it violates the site’s community standards. The boys' photos remained on the website without issue. However, thanks to a large amount of press coverage, Facebook reversed its decision, allowing them to advertise just as well as the boys.
Donate to the men here and the women here and receive your own calendar. The women’s calendar donations go towards Macmillan Cancer Support.
