Google Doc: [Queer Creatives to Support this Pride Month and Beyond]
If you haven’t seen my original post about this, I’ve been taking contributions and compiling a list of queer creatives and artists you can support financially, as an alternative to buying corporate Pride merch. I originally intended for this to be a one-off post, but thanks to all the wonderful contributions, the list grew far beyond my expectations. So I decided to make it available indefinitely, in a format that can be continually updated and expanded.
It’s a little down to the wire for Pride Month, but that’s okay, because the emphasis really is on ‘and beyond’ for this one. Let’s keep supporting queer creatives year-round!
So what do we need from you?
Send in more suggestions! - There’s a formalised process for doing this, using the contact form on my website, but while this post is circulating, please feel free to add your suggestions in the reblogs, tags and replies. I’ll be keeping track of it and adding any contributions I see.
Add reviews! - Same as above, if there’s a creator you love on the list, vouch for them! Share a short note about why you love their work – especially if they haven’t already been vouched for, but we can include multiple if they have.
Share! - Spread the word, and help get this out as widely as possible. Share the post, send the document to your friends, tag creators you love or people who you think might benefit from it.
Support! - If you have the funds and you find an artist on the list that you’d love to support, do so! That’s what it's all about, after all.
And as a final note, while I've been working on this list over the past month, a few friends did point out that I am, in fact, also a queer creator who is in pretty dire financial straits at the moment, and should probably be including myself here. there is absolutely no pressure to do so, but if you have the funds to spare and would like to support my work, I have now set up a Buy Me a Coffee page.
