Germany's First Gay Sheep Herd Inspires Rainbow-Wool Fashion Line

A unique sheep herd in Ostwestfalen is pioneering a fashion initiative to support global queer rights.

Michael Stücke's farm in Ostwestfalen hosts what is claimed to be the first gay sheep herd in Germany, possibly the world.
The wool from this herd is used to create a fashion line, with profits supporting global queer rights initiatives.
Approximately 9% of rams are naturally homosexual, and these animals are often unwanted by breeders.
Singer Bill Kaulitz has adopted two sheep as part of a promotional campaign for the Rainbow-Wool project.
The project highlights rural openness and aims to revitalize the local sheep farming industry amid recent challenges.
