Pretty Gay ♥ — On a Word That Means Three Things at Once

Pretty Gay ♥ — On a Word That Means Three Things at Once

Pretty gay.

Two words. Three meanings. One tee.

There's pretty as in handsome. Feminine. Soft. The kind of pretty that gets complicated when it lands on a queer body — because it was never really meant for us, and yet here we are, taking it back.

There's pretty gay as in: quite gay. Rather gay. Considerably, undeniably, pretty gay. Not a little. Not questioning. Pretty gay.

And then there's the person — the pretty gay. The one who walks into a room and is both of those things at once. Pretty. And gay. Unapologetically.

I love a word that does that much work.

The tee

On the front: "Pretty Gay ♥" in hand-drawn lettering. The kind of handwriting that looks like it was written fast, with feeling, on the back of something important.

On the back: a naive smiling flower in full color. Because of course there's a flower. There's always a flower.

The tee itself is not basic. Drop shoulders, loose unisex fit, and a double-border layered hem that makes it unmistakably a piece — not just a garment. Available in five bold colorways with contrasting trim: White/Red, Sky Blue/White, Yellow/Green, Dark Green/Red, Royal Blue/Red.

100% pure cotton, 235 g/m². Sizes S to 2XL. €49. Made to order.

For pride season

Pride is coming. And every year the question is the same: what do you wear?

Not the corporate rainbow. Not the fast fashion flag tee that falls apart after one wash. Something that actually means something. Something made by a queer artist, for queer people, with a joke inside it that only some people will get.

Pretty gay. Wear it to the parade. Wear it after. Wear it on a Tuesday when you just feel like it.
