6 Unique LGBTQ Brands to Support During Pride 2021 and Beyond 

This past year was eye opening to say the least. With protests, injustices, and a global pandemic- our world adapted to a new norm. Nonetheless, there is one thing we can all give and take during these unprecedented times and that is showcasing wholehearted support. Supporting groups of people, a race, and a friend helped us all get through last year and SHOWFIELDS strongly believes in continuing to uphold that idea during Pride Month and every single day after it. 

Pride 2021 seems to be coming out with a bang. With post-pandemic flutter and vaccine rollouts, everyone has the opportunity to celebrate in person and nothing says support like standing together side by side, advocating for peace and love. Amongst the celebrations, this year will also be filled with petitions, protests, and educating oneself and others. 

If you are pondering ways to contribute to Pride month and serve as a pillar for the queer community, SHOWFIELDS created a small shop-able guide filled with LGBTQ businesses that are doing their part to push for equality. Discover and support some of the most interesting queer-owned brands that are pushing the envelope and making waves below. #WeStandTogether

Queer Candle Co.

Queer Candle Co. is not only known for its organically made candles and naturalesque presentation, the brand also strives to serve as a safe community for all queers. By creating each candle in small batches, Queer Candle Co. takes pride in the phrase "made with love," as each and every one of the products is thought out and carefully curated. The brand has a range of refreshing scents including lemon, rose, and jasmine. Building the foundation on love and support and dismissing the idea of being a business makes Queer Candle Co. at the top of our list of LGBTQ brands to support this Pride.
