In times of political uncertainty and increasing attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, one of the most impactful things we can do is show up for each other. Our community has always been built on resilience, solidarity, and care—and that includes where we spend our money.

Supporting LGBTQ+ businesses isn’t just about shopping small or keeping money within the community. It’s about protecting safe and affirming spaces where people can be their authentic selves, ensuring that queer and trans entrepreneurs can thrive despite legislative challenges, and fostering a culture of belonging in every corner of Virginia, including access to affirming care.
