Happy Pride Month, everyone! To help you get in the spirit of this excitingly queer time of year, we've put together a guide to everything you need to know about the OG Pride flags: what they mean now, then, and today.
In case you’ve been living under a Rock…the Oscars happened on Sunday, and we’re here to talk about a historical moment for the LGBTQ+ community. One of the biggest highlights of the night was Ariana DeBose winning the Best Support Actress Award, becoming the first openly queer woman of colour to win at the Oscars.
Many of us who are following the news on the Russia-Ukraine war will know that its citizens need our help and support. Numerous organisations have done amazing work in sharing stories, protesting, and raising relief funds. Some incredible LGBTQ+ groups actively helping the LGBTQ+ community in Ukraine are among them.
As we're growing and expanding, the next logical step for us is to outsource production, which is why we are delighted to announce a new partnership with Watford Workshop, an organisation that supports the work of people with disabilities.
Before pride flags, there were violets, thumb rings, and carabiners. Lesbian women have been using coded signals to find each other for centuries. The codes change. The need doesn't.
While Pansexuality may be a new-ish member of the LGBTQ+ family, Pansexuality has become more widely recognised in recent years with Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Courtney Act and Bob the Drag Queen coming out as pan.

The trans community has been an integral part in the LGBTQ+ space, as many trans members have often been the face of equal rights and social justice for queer folks.
