7 queer-owned Etsy art shops to support this Pride Month

Darcey Gohring

June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by supporting queer small businesses. By purchasing products from one of these Etsy shops, you are not only giving your hard-earned dollars to a marginalized community but also shopping small. Many of these home products are handcrafted, and one-of-a-kind and all of them have one thing in common—their customers can’t say enough good things about them.

Fabulously Feminist

This shop strives to bring together products that are gender and eco-friendly. For home, they offer colorful prints, mugs, and wall hangings. Many of their pieces include reaffirming sayings and quotes with eye-catching botanicals (and nature is certainly “in” this year). The New England-based owner, Callie Garp, combines her passion for feminism and gender studies with her love of art in her figurative-based paintings and prints.

The Sisters Stoned

Scent is a secret weapon in home design. If you love the look and smell of candles, check out The Sisters Stoned. Owned by two best friends who turned their candle obsession into a business, this store has a scent for everyone. We especially love their sets like this aromatherapy one, which comes with five candles and gets rave reviews.

That’s So Andrew

We love the simple white mugs with black lettering from That’s So Andrew. Owner Andrew Taylor strives to create moments of happiness throughout the day, and his mugs do just that. They include simple affirmations that promote pride as well as quotes that will may you smile.

Cottage Craft Handmade

The soaps from this shop are so pretty you may never want to use them (or you could always just buy two). Handmade works of art, they are layered to create unique patterns and interesting designs. Scents range from lemon poppyseed to sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla amber. Display them in your bathroom or give them as a gift.

Ray of Gay

This store’s motto is: Sometimes the world is black and white, so we try to bring a splash of color. They sell LGBTQIA and Pride merchandise, including flags and pillows, as well as some adorable desk mats.

The Rainbow Sheep Shop

From coasters to pillows and ornaments to wall art, the Rainbow Sheep Shop makes LGBTQ items all made by LGBTQ people. We especially love that they offer coasters for couples with the proper pronouns for everyone.

LeanLeftArtandDesign

This North Carolina-based shop sells clothes, bags, home decor, mugs, and other goods. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your living room or your home office, there’s something for everyone. The owner teaches feminist and gender studies, and her goal was to offer progressive products for marginalized groups.

No matter which Etsy shop you visit, showing your support to local, small businesses is something we should all do not just during Pride Month but all year long.
