Let’s be real: most sports gear is still made for cis straight dudes with biceps the size of your torso. But LGBTQ+ and female athletes? We’ve got different needs—and way better taste. From gender-affirming basics to not-so-subtle protest tape, here’s what’s trending in our world right now.
What’s the hype? Because some of us want support without turning into a full sausage casing. TomboyX makes compression tops that don’t suffocate and boxer briefs that are actually made for bodies that aren’t male mannequins. Moisture-wicking, gender-inclusive, and made to move.

Okay, yes, it’s a Big Brand™. But hear us out—this is one of the rare corporate Pride collections that isn’t a glittery trainwreck. The shoes are actually wearable, the tees are subtle (but not boring), and they asked actual queer people for input. Progress!
Pro tip: Limited drops = act fast or cry later.

Little Woman Goods is a feminist gift shop selling stickers, enamel pins, and apparel designed by Los Angeles based artist Rosaline Zhang. The illustrations fall at the intersection of tongue-in-cheek, pretty, cute and subversive, and celebrate the diversity and beauty of womanhood.
We love that Little Woman Goods is a woman-owned and women-operated business that draws a socially-conscious audience of women and their supporters.

Yes, it’s rainbow tape. But also—it’s useful AF. Originally made for hockey sticks, athletes are now wrapping everything from tennis rackets to wheelchairs to water bottles. Grippy, durable, and sends a message: queer folks play hard too.
Bonus: Some women’s teams use it in pre-game rituals. We love a little gay superstition.

These aren’t just products—they’re small rebellions in a world that still tries to sideline us.
