Visibility matters—but so does queer joy. That’s why I’m proud to share the joyous and celebratory GWK Family Collection, a partnership between LGBTQ+ family-focused organizations GWK Academy and Gaddies. They’re even offering Mombian readers a special discount on their merch!
GWK Academy is a nonprofit helping LGBTQ+ people turn the dream of parenthood into reality and Gaddies is a brand focused on celebrating queer families. Their collection is built on one idea: families come in all shapes, and every one of them is built with pride. There are tees, hoodies, and hats for every kind of parent, plus matching styles for kids, toddlers and babies.
Even better, every purchase from the collection helps support GWK Academy’s work.
“We built this collection so every kind of family can see themselves and wear it with pride,” Brian Rosenberg, GWK Academy founder, and David Morgenstern, Gaddies founder, told me.
Here are a few sample items from the collection, but there are many more!
I love the fun and whimsy of the designs and the fact that they aren’t afraid to move away from a traditional rainbow theme and offer something different that still evokes the colorful diversity of our community. (I like rainbows as much as anyone, but it’s nice to mix things up, too.)
For 10% off, use this link to browse the collection and purchase, or use code “mom” at checkout. I make nothing from any of these sales; I just like the work that these two organizations are doing, and hope you do, too.
