KUTZTOWN, PA — Honoring the theme of love with universal symbols and imagery, the Postal Service has released the latest in its popular Love series stamps, featuring the work of iconic graphic artist Keith Haring. The Love (2025) Forever stamp features an untitled 1985 drawing by Haring that includes two moving figures reaching toward a red heart.

“The non-specificity of the figures allows a variety of people to see themselves in this stamp,” said Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS who selected Haring’s work for the stamp design.

Centered on a red heart with motion lines radiating toward two moving figures, Haring’s drawing suggests the figures are dancing in the presence of love. The joyful image allows the viewer to project their own meaning of love in the context of their choosing.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

So now the USPS is promoting "LGBTQXYZ love" with the issuance of their latest series of love stamps.

I just received a slick 50 page catalog from the USPS featuring this stamp on the cover. Inside, in addition to ordering the stamps, you can order note cards, love field notes, and a love stamp pin with cancellation card. All of these items feature the stamp's image.

It appears that the current USPS management is focusing on promoting woke ideology rather than on providing reliable and efficient mail service. An analogy can be drawn in comparison to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Two previous LGBTQ Stamps issued by the USPS are: Honoring gay activist Harvey Milk and incredibly Bugs Bunny in Drag.
