About Us

Gay Pride Apparel was founded in early 2019 from a deep desire to create a space where queer individuals could find clothing that truly reflected their identities. The idea took root during Pride 2018 in New York City, when seeing the remnants of the celebration washed away by rain highlighted the need for a more permanent expression of pride. We launched our online store in January 2019 from a small apartment, investing our savings in a vibrant inventory. Orders quickly poured in, and with growing community support, our venture gained traction. Despite the challenges, our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community remained strong. We’ve shipped over 50,000 orders globally, received recognition in various publications, and created a space where pride is celebrated every day. Our journey, sparked by a profound moment at Pride 2018, continues to drive our dedication to visibility and inclusivity.

Our mission is crystal clear: to kindle pride in every individual across the globe, year-round. We founded our store with a vision to reach those who may not have access to local pride events or progressive stores, particularly in less urbanized areas.

Consider this scenario: You reside in a small town, eager to express your pride, yet struggle to find avenues to do so. That's precisely where we come in. We discreetly ship our products to you, ensuring that regardless of location or circumstance, you have access to a piece of our store that not only empowers but also instills a profound sense of pride.

Our commitment extends beyond geographical boundaries; it transcends time, providing a continuous source of empowerment and celebration. That's the essence of who we are and who we're here for—ensuring that pride is not just a fleeting moment but a perpetual state of being.
