As a proud queer person, I try to support queer businesses as often as possible. I’ve put together a gift guide featuring some amazing gifts for you and your queer loved ones, as well as a few awesome book recommendations.
Clothing and accessories
Ursula K Le Guin non-binary pronouns T-shirt (Frank Duffy Art)
This t-shirt comes in 5 different colours and runs up to size 5xl. I fully intend to treat myself to one of these in the near future.
Heteronormativity is a plague pin (Abprallen)
I’ve ordered several things from Abprallen over the years and I love his stickers in particular. This pin would make a great stocking filler.
Nature is queer sweatshirt (mygaylittleshop)
This sweatshirt is available up to size 3x and comes in 3 different colours.
Art prints
We love buying and gifting cool art so I had to include some prints in this gift guide. If you want to get really fancy, you could also look for unusual frames in charity shops that you could customise for your giftee.

Trans people will always have a place to call home die cut shape print A5 (Hagstone Art)

Books and Comics

Persona by Aoife Josie Clements
Persona is one of the most incredible works of literary horror I've read in recent years.
Fierce Femmes And Notorious Liars : A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir by Kai Cheng Thom
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski
This book has stayed with me since I first read it in 2020. A devastating and beautiful tale of forbidden love set in early 1980’s Poland.
