While Pride Month makes it “trendy” to support LGBTQIA+ companies, it’s important to show that support all year long. It brings us joy to see that beautiful rainbow flag splashed everywhere during the month of June and the rest of the year too. But more than that, it makes us so happy to see so many of our queer brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, and friends out and proud, and living their best lives. We know there’s still a long way to go, but society is so much more accepting of the LGBTQIA community than it once was, and with that, we are seeing a lot more openly queer creators and entrepreneurs making their mark on their individual industries, and we’re excited to celebrate them.
Here are some of our favorite items from queer Latinx businesses you should buy to help you celebrate Pride Month in style:wp_*posts
