Even before the identity of the shooter in Tumbler Ridge was confirmed by police, speculation about their gender identify spread across social media.

At 3 am, I found myself shopping for Pride flags on Etsy. I have 1 hanging in a window, but thanks to the toilet demon regime, I'm going to hang a flag from my porch.

What a week it’s been —

#lgbtq #lgbtcommunity #lgbtqia #lgbtpride #lgbtqiaplus #lgbtqcommunity #Pride #pridemonth #prideeveryday #takethebrick #stonewall #stonewallinn #stonewallinnnyc #stonewallinn1969 #stonewallinnriots #stonewallnationalmonument #lgbtqowned #lgbtqownedbusiness #craigscanvases

What a week it’s been — and it’s only Wednesday.

If you’re trying to keep up with the rollercoaster, here’s a quick recap: Sunday evening’s halftime show — boycotted by some, yet drawing record-breaking viewership — celebrated Puerto Rican pride, Latin culture, and the inclusivity of all people, led by a powerful LGBTQ+ ally. The Super Bowl as a whole featured visible representation of diverse communities, including the LGBTQ+ community, throughout the event.
Yesterday, the LGBTQ Pride flag was removed from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City — the first LGBTQ+ national monument, designated in 2016. This follows last year’s removal of references to transgender and queer people from the National Park Service’s Stonewall monument webpage.

There is no definitive record of who threw the first brick at Stonewall in 1969, but the brick has become a lasting symbol of the fight for inclusion and equal rights by those who were excluded and marginalized. More than fifty years later, that message remains just as powerful. We must not allow parts of American history to be erased or rewritten. The LGBTQ+ Community has been, and will continue to be, a beautiful rainbow in fibers of the United States of America.

Today, we’re featuring an artwork we’ve shared before — and one that feels especially important to share again: Take The Brick & Continue the Fight, a 24x24” acrylic on canvas, completed in June 2024. When we first posted it, we wrote: “The brick represents the fight and struggles that continue to this day for so many in the LGBTQ+ community.” We continue to stand by those words; as an LGBTQ+-owned business, we remain proud to celebrate and serve all people, every single day.
