As someone who has been passionate about supporting queer-owned businesses, I found Pride Pals by Kitty With A Cupcake to be an exceptional way to express identity and allyship during Pride Month. What I love most is how flexible the pins are—you truly get to customize your set by picking a Pal, pronouns, Pride flags, accessibility plaques, and even personality plaques. This level of personalization makes the pins feel deeply meaningful and inclusive. The option to wear subtle pins is fantastic for those who might not be fully out yet or prefer a more low-key expression of their identity. Conversely, the bold rainbow and other Pride flags help show strong support publicly, especially helpful if you have a public-facing role where signaling inclusivity is important. One aspect I appreciated was the encouragement to use the Faire Direct link when purchasing wholesale. This ensures that the business avoids the usual 15% marketplace commission, meaning more of your support goes directly to the queer creators behind Pride Pals. For individual customers, ordering online during June also means a portion of sales is donated to the Trevor Project, a vital organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth. I found the pins not only to be stylish accessories but also powerful conversation starters. Wearing them often led to meaningful discussions about pronouns and LGBTQ inclusion, helping foster a safe environment for others in my community. If you’re looking to celebrate Pride Month with intention and support a queer-operated brand while giving back to important LGBTQ causes, Pride Pals are a wonderful choice.
