- Stephen McDermott Enamel Pins
Insta influencer and wearable goods designer Stephen McDermott wants you to stick it to prudes and bullies with his extensive line of provocative enamel pins that includes Disney Princess-inspired jock straps, reimagined Zodiac signs of nude men and a wrestler performing the controversial “butt drag” on his opponent. A whole new collection debuted at RuPaul’s DragCon LA (and is now for sale online), celebrating Tom of Finland, glitter unicorns and something called Camp Cockalot, which, we’ll take the versatile bunk, please. $9-$17, stephen-mcdermott.com.
- 2(X)IST
Is it even Pride if 2(X)IST doesn’t have something with which to barely cover you? This year’s collection is a gay leprechaun’s wet dream with rainbow cropped joggers, shorts, swim briefs and trunks, and when you get down to the nitty-gritty, a couple kaleidoscopic jock straps to hang on his hotel doorknob. Through June, 2(X)IST will donate $1 per sale from the collection to The Audre Lorde Project, TGI Justice Project and Montana Two Spirit Society. $24-$75, 2xist.com.
- JanSport backpacks
As LGBTQ people, it sometimes feels like we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, but JanSport can help with that. It’s line of Pride-themed bags, mini-bags, not-so-traditional traditional backpacks, and fanny packs (or “fag bags” as people called them in the ’90s – so yeah, appropriate) is a comfortable option to stow all your Pride-festival swag, sunscreen, makeup, costume changes, and maybe even your feelings if you start to catch ’em for that fucc boi over there. $17-$42, jansport.com.
