Our Fave Products to Shop During Pride Month and Beyond

It’s Pride Month, which means we’re shining a special spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community. (And if you’re not totally familiar with events affecting the queer population in the US, we got ya covered. You can learn more about that here.)

We’re also highlighting many LGBTQ+-owned brands, especially small businesses that you may not have shopped before — but definitely should. Plus we’ve got some products with proceeds being donated to charitable causes. Show your support, check ‘em out, and have a happy Pride.
