New York, NY, February 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Brooklyn Industries has designed a Special Edition Tee that not only celebrates beauty but celebrates a social cause. The design of the America The Beautiful PRIDE Tee highlights the eight states where marriage equality laws have been passed.
