Looking for awesome LGBTQ+ merchandise in the Philippines? You’ve come to the right place.
The fight for equality had come a long way from when the movement began. Pride Months have become more powerful and colorful than ever as more people join in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Yay!
However, the Pride movement is more than just a parade that happens every month of June. It involves the real-life struggles and sufferings that the LGBTQ+ community faces.
It is a fight for freedom: freedom to love, freedom to express ourselves and come out, freedom to be unapologetically ourselves.
The cool part is you don’t have to be part of the LGBTQ+ community to show support!
If you’re wondering how to be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, showing your support through LGBTQ+ merchandise can be an excellent first step.
Not to mention, you don’t even have to wait for Pride Month! Show solidarity by shopping for LGBT merchandise in the Philippines. Amp it up by buying from small local businesses that support the movement or are LGBTQ+ owned!
Buying LGBT merchandise in the Philippines is a simple and easy way to support Pride.
Plus, you get to have something nice and cute in the process! 🙂
To make it easier for you, we listed some LGBTQ+ merchandise, brands, and small businesses to check out. Wear your Pride or showcase your support through these LGBTQ+ merchandise available in our country:
