June 1 marks the beginning of 2024 Pride Month. This tradition began in 1969 after the Stonewall Riots, a series of protests for LGBT equality in New York City. Over the years, it’s morphed into Pride parades and celebrations of how far the community has come (and dreams of what is yet to be achieved.)
What better time than during Pride Month to support LGBTQ+-founded companies? We curated fantastic brands — some of which you may already shop — established by people who identify as members of this community.
Honestly, these brands are all so great that you don’t need a celebratory month to decide to shop them, but it’s an especially timely way to show your support. Whether you’re in the market for home decor, makeup, perfumes, scented candles and more, the following lines are great to shop in Pride month and year-round.
Shop Andie swimwear, Omsom noodles, Nate Berkus Home and more goods that are sure to delight.
