JUNE IS HERE… YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS 🌈🌈🌈
You already know we’re here and q***r 365 days a year, but in case you didn’t...
Hello Dolly is proudly q***r and neurodivergent owned and operated, and while we’ll absolutely be celebrating Pride with cookies and markets (more on those soon), Pride has always been about more than a party.
It’s about community. It’s about safety and survival. It’s about visibility. It’s about protecting one another when the world feels increasingly determined to make life harder for q***r and trans people.
This month (and EVERY month), we’re encouraging folks to:
�🏳️🌈 Support q***r and trans-owned businesses�🏳️⚧️ Advocate and speak up when you witness harm (verbal and physical)�🏳️🌈 Challenge hate when you see it
🏳️⚧️ Redistributing resources and making donations when you can�🏳️🌈 Create and support spaces where people can show up safely as themselves
🏳️⚧️ VOTE and know who you’re voting for
If you’re part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community: We see you, we support you, we’re SO glad you’re here.
If you’re an ally: Your support matters most when it’s consistent, not just seasonal. Go beyond rainbow capitalism.
And as always, we’d love to use our platform to amplify others. Q***r and trans-owned businesses, artists, creators, and organizations - drop your handles below so our community can discover and support you. 💖�
Happy Pride, friends. We can’t wait to spread some q***r joy with you this month.🌈✨
PS come see us and other amazing q***r vendors at the Pride Market at the Royal Ottawa this Thursday from 11am-2pm and at this Saturday 🌈
