"Shopping queer has always meant more than buying a product. It's about supporting the people building something for our community-often from scratch, often against the odds. Instead of chasing trends or filling pages with endless rainbow products, LGBTQ Outpost focuses on highlighting a wide variety of LGBTQ+ owned brands and allies building inclusive businesses."
"&ndy was founded by former college athlete, Andrew Hall, to solve a simple problem: queer athletes deserve gear that reflects who they are. Launched in 2023, the label creates technical activewear designed for movement-whether you're in the gym, on a team, or just trying to keep your workout routine together between brunches."
"Artists Ashley Molesso and Chess Needham built Ash + Chess around something delightfully simple: queer people deserve art that actually reflects us. Their stationery and gift brand has become known for bold retro graphics, sharp humor, and unapologetically queer aesthetic."
LGBTQ Outpost is a new curated marketplace designed to support LGBTQ+ owned businesses and allied companies. Rather than promoting generic rainbow products, the platform emphasizes brands founded by entrepreneurs with authentic community connections and lived experiences. The marketplace features diverse businesses ranging from small home-based makers to established global labels across categories including apparel, coffee, skincare, and home goods. Featured brands like &ndy, an activewear line for queer athletes, and Ash + Chess, a stationery brand by queer artists, exemplify the marketplace's focus on inclusive, identity-affirming products that reflect community values and authentic representation.
