So with the FBI and CIA now monitoring social media for stuff they don’t like, is this the only place we can come to bitch about Trump without wondering if we’ll wake up to jackboots kicking in our door.

LGBTQ+ Film Festivals are so important. Because as governments try to erase our lives and our contributions, one of our biggest acts of resistance is to keep telling our stories. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Waaaay too many cis people being deliberately and aggressively transphobic and then pretending that they’re the real victims.

Trump and Vance, the unqualified, cishet, white men painfully demonstrating why DEI is so important.

So we've just been through our caps range and removed all the red ones.
Yep. All gone. Not a single variant or any cap left in red. We'd hate to think that from a distance anyone might suspect one of our customers of being in that terrible cult. We say no to red caps!

We are a 100% #queer company. Our founders are queer/trans/ace, all our designs have been done by us, the models we have photographed are gay, lesbian and bi+, our photographer is queer and gender-fluid, our writers are lesbian and non-binary and even the …

The mainstream media demonisation of the trans community must be stopped. If you want to have an opinion about trans people go and speak to trans people. Otherwise your opinion is invalid.

I’m wearing my Heroes of Stonewall t-shirt today. Four of the names on this list are #trans women of colour who fought for my rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Galentines Day lovely people. This is a day to celebrate women’s friendship. So leave the boys at home and go out with your friends today to let them know they’re loved. But especially the trans women in your life, who will need some extra support just now. ❤️

If they think erasing our celebrations from their calendars is going to stop us they have learned nothing from Obi-Wan. ‘You can’t win Donald. If you strike us down we will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. We’ll be bigger, gayer, queerer and louder than you ever thought possible🌈’

We know it's tough for queer peeps atm so we're always looking for ways to cut prices. And we're so happy to announce that our new supplier for mugs means we can cut 25% off all mug prices from today. To celebrate we added 7 new ones. Yay! 🌈

The decision by the 🍊felon to take over The KennedyCentre is horrifying. It’s fascism 101. The arts have always, and will always, be a place of joy, where our community feels safe and we are free to expresses ourselves. It’s going to be up to all of us to promote queer art and support queer artists.

We're just added a couple of lovely retro style WeAretheResistance posters to the site. One with a Trans Pride Flag and one with a Rainbow Pride Flag. Perfect to remind you that resistance is critical 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈.

We had 55,000 people at Trans Pride London last year. It was the largest Trans Pride match in history. We’ve all seen what’s happening in the US. We all know it could easily happen in the UK. This year let’s make it 100,000 and send Trump, Starmer and Streeting a message they can’t ignore 🏳️‍⚧️

A very Queer Happy Birthday today to the glorious Alan Cumming. I suspect everyone knows him and hopefully loves him, his list of films, TV shows and awards is huge, and he's currently enjoying being the host of The Traitors US.

I think sometimes people find it odd that a shop social media page has opinions like an individual. But behind every small business are people, with feelings and needs. And as a queer and trans person my existence is deeply political. This shop only exists because I wanted to do something awesome…

A very Happy Birthday to the incredible Peter Tatchell. He’s been relentless in his LGBTQ+ activism for more than 40 years. He co-founded direct action group OutRage! and has campaigned against racism, homophobia, censorship and the death penalty. 🌈
