2024

A serene, secluded location. A parked car with closed doors and the engine off. A pair of lovers, finally able to steal a moment away from prying eyes. For many people who have historically been afraid to share their love openly, the confines of a car have offered a sense of refuge – their own private world where their love rightfully feels pure and is not treated like a crime.

A MGMT has joined forces with fashion label ROTATE to release a limited edition collection of “LOVE IS NOT A CRIME” T-shirts to advocate for those within the LGBTQIA+ community who still feel that their love is prohibited. All proceeds from the T-shirt sales will be donated to initiatives that aim to recognise love as a universal right.

Love Is Not A Crime is a non-profit organization started in 2017 by Sune Palner CEO and founder ofAMGMT in collaboration with amnesty international. The reason behind this was the concentration camps for LGBTIQ+ people created by Chechnya's government, where they were tortured and killed.

Unfortunately, there was minimal press coverage of these atrocities. Our collaboration was successful in raising funds, and through the sale of T-shirts, we were able to help.

LGBTIQ+ people with passports, travel, and asylum in other countries. Over the years, we have assisted numerous LGBTIQ+ organizations worldwide, including Uganda, which changed its law from a death penalty to criminalization. Seven years later, our organization is expanding, and we have received tremendous support from Elle Denmark, which has featured our work on their covers and editorials, dedicating every august issue to the LGBTIQ+ community.
