Lgbt friendly clothing stores
Between styling participants for Youthphoria and my trans and non-binary clients, I’m always looking for brands that will be comfortable for all bodies and all genders while offering gender-affirming clothing options. Also, in general, finding brands that carry extended sizes (in either direction) is something I am always trying to find.
The websites that I listed below cover the sizing spectrum as well as the gender spectrum. Additional bonuses: a lot of these brands strive for representation in their models in addition to their size inclusivity, and most also highly value sustainability. Just remember that you can shop with your values in mind without going over-budget.
Here is my current list of my favorite brands to shop for trans and non-binary folks. I hope this helps you or someone you know if they have woes about not being able to find clothing that feels true to them.

This Pride Month, we&#;re shining a light on the outdoor brands that are LGBTQ-friendly all year round, rather than those that come after our pink dollars only during June!
The 10 brands listed here have all taken action in direct aid of LGBTQIA lives.
They move beyond Pride month merchandise and donate money directly to LGBTQ-led organizations. They&#;ve made statements of support on gay marriage and trans rights. They recognize the ways LGBTQ folks have historically been made to feel unwelcome and unsafe outdoors, and they&#;re working for change.
Some of these brands have legacies of supporting queer folks that stretch back over a decade!
Outdoor gear is expensive. So when we&#;re putting a good chunk of change down on needed equipment, why not support brands with track records of standing up for equality?

However, mainstream brands often fall fleeting in catering to the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community. These brands typically overlook the needs of trans, non-binary, gender-fluid folks or anyone else outside of the binary. Fortunately, many queer-owned brands are committed to filling this gap, dedicating themselves to providing our community with the gender-affirming products we deserve.
In this article, we shine a spotlight on 15 LGBTQ+ owned brands that are creating a safe space where queer folks can find a range of gender-affirming products. From pants and shirts to binders, lingerie, swimwear, gaffs, tucking underwear, and more, these brands are making strides in inclusivity.

I was functional in a small boutique in a New Jersey mall during my senior year of elevated school. It was late in the evening and the store was near closing, but not at the point that we weren&#;t letting people into the dressing rooms. The only two people left working were me and my manager. My manager spotted a transgender woman looking through the racks and told me that under no circumstances would we let her (although I&#;m pretty sure, given my manager&#;s bigotry, she didn&#;t employ the proper pronoun) try on any clothes.

She looked at us not with rage from the clear bigotry she was experiencing, but with an apologetic and exhausted pleasant smile that showed me just how tired she was of trying to make her way in the world.
