60+ LGBTQ+-Owned Brands to Shop and Support Now

The start of June marks the beginning of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. To celebrate and uplift the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, it's important to understand the history of LGBTQ+ civil rights in the United States and to recognize how the fight for equality is still ongoing. Yes, same-sex couples can marry in every state, but LGBTQ+ Americans are currently facing an unprecedented deluge of legislative attacks.

In 2023 alone, Republican lawmakers in various states have introduced a staggering 490 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Many of these bills take aim at the freedoms of drag artists, queer youth, and transgender people, jeopardizing their equality under the law and acceptance in the eyes of the American public. Some, including an expansion of Florida's infamous "Don't Say Gay" measure, have already been signed into law.

Although this political climate is disheartening, there is reason to have hope. Organizations like the ACLU, Transgender Law Center, and Lambda Legal work tirelessly to contest anti-LGBTQ+ bills and advance equality for the queer community. Consider donating to these organizations to support their vital efforts — and while you're at it, why not support an LGBTQ+-owned business?

Below, find 60+ queer- or trans-owned home and lifestyle businesses to patronize during Pride Month and beyond.
