Let's talk rainbows, glitter, and supporting awesome LGBTQ+ businesses and organizations!✨ June might be Pride Month, but celebrating love and inclusivity should be a year-round thing.
As an AAPI woman-owned business that champions diversity, we believe in fostering connections and celebrating all identities. That's why we wanted to shine a light on some incredible LGBTQ+ businesses and organizations you can support.
From Wedding Inspiration to Everyday Pride
Have you ever walked through a greeting card aisle and felt like the options for LGBTQ+ couples were...well, a little generic? ♀️ That's exactly what inspired That Queer Card Co. to launch! Founder Shauna noticed a lack of diverse representation in wedding cards, and decided to create something special for couples celebrating their love in all its unique forms. We love their commitment to showcasing vibrant personalities and fostering genuine connections through heartfelt cards.
Celebrate Every Day with Gay Pride Apparel
Love is love, and Gay Pride Apparel is all about celebrating that every single day. This NYC-based company, founded by two longtime best friends Jesus and Sergio, is a vibrant explosion of LGBTQ+ pride. Their mission? To empower and celebrate the community with high-quality clothing and accessories that champion authenticity and self-expression. We love their message of inclusivity and the positive vibes they spread with every tee and hat!
Building a Thriving LGBTQIA+ Community with Inclusion Tennessee
Sometimes, all you need is a sense of belonging. Inclusion Tennessee is an organization on a mission to create that for LGBTQIA+ people across the state. They offer enriching programs and resources that help folks explore their identities, build confidence, and connect with a supportive community. From social events to educational workshops, Inclusion Tennessee is fostering a thriving space where everyone feels welcome and celebrated.
Redefining "So Gay" with So Gay Rosé
Ever heard someone describe something fabulous as "so gay"? So Gay Rosé is taking that back! Founded by Tim and Josh, this sparkling rosé brand is all about reclaiming the phrase and turning it into a toast-worthy celebration of living authentically. We love their commitment to sparking conversations, embracing individuality, and bringing people together over a delicious drink (because what's more fun than that?).
Sweet Treats with a Filipino Flair
Looking for a delicious way to celebrate Pride? Look no further than Whisk Pastry NYC! This NYC-based bakeshop, owned by Michael, is all about small-batch treats made with love. Michael uses his 10 years of experience in the food industry to create mouthwatering baked goods, using both classic flavors and those inspired by his Filipino heritage. We love his commitment to fresh ingredients and unique flavor combinations, and we know you will too!
