And I will discuss these things under each brand! There's everything from pride tees, to art pieces, underwear, jewellery and makeup. Now the niche of 'Queer owned, ethical, and sustainable' is quite a tight one and so all of the brands on this list are ethically made, most are queer/LGBTQ+ owned, and a lot are sustainable in one shape or form. No you don't have to support unethical brands like Primark, H&M, and boohoo to get your pride merch fix this month (and beyond) and you can instead support queer owned brands and give your money to small, ethical businesses owners, rather than billionaires!
With this campaign running I have had a lot of people ask me for queer ethical brands to shop with, for both pride merch and general every day stuff that's more inclusive and so here we are! As you're probably already aware of, it's pride month! And you may have already seen my 'Who Made My Pride Merch?' campaign which is asking all those big brands capitalising off of queer people whilst not making things ethically who is actually making their clothes, and how they're going to do better to protect LGBTQ+ people in their supply chains.
