Pride season is coming up, which means it’s time for my annual “support queer creators!” post.
Due to the recent debacles with Etsy, I encourage people to check and see if shops have other platforms (i.e., their own website, Shopify, etc.) that they prefer people to buy from. But if not, many shops are okay with you buying through Etsy! It’s better than not supporting them at all. For that reason, most of these shops are on Etsy, but some of the links direct to other websites.
Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of shops and what they sell!
TheQueerSphere - buttons and stickers
AvianDalek - buttons, stickers, and prints
HowdyItsJunebug - stickers, zines, and buttons
HateKillRepeat - stickers and patches
GayCrochetShop - plushies, scarves, hats, and more
Catmint Studios - stickers, buttons, enamel pins, and keychains
CrochetingAce - crocheted plushies
MinichelleDesigns - stickers, pins, and more
ChaoBunnyArts - washi tape and enamel pins
LilacWonderland - buttons, stickers, and jewelry
Queerkwe - earrings, other jewelry, and stickers
LavenderMinis - enamel pins and plushies
