SithLord Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The only adult store (sex store) I've ever gone into had gay pride stuff, so a bunch of rainbows pretty much. Not sure if other adult stores are the same way, but Spencer's had stuff last time I checked. Link to post Share on other sites

Kappamaki Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The only places I've ever seen any pride gear for sale that wasn't just rainbows are: 1) The Internet, and 2) Fandom conventions. Not queer conventions, mind you, just anime and comics and whatnot like Otacon and Comic-Con. Independent artists tend to sell things along this line. This is because these artists are geeks selling stuff to geeks, and geeks are pretty queer as a group. Link to post Share on other sites
mykel_radar Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Here you go. http://merchandace.com/ do they have things other than ace? or a physical store? Well, you are on an ace forum, so I naturally assumed you'd be looking for ace gear. If you're looking to get pride gear for another orientation, why would you ask here? o_O Link to post Share on other sites

Vega91 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Out of curiousity, does anybody do the black ring thing to raise ace awareness? I've thought about getting one. I do,but nobody generally recognizes those so it's more of a personal thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Starry Sky Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Out of curiousity, does anybody do the black ring thing to raise ace awareness? I've thought about getting one. I wear one but no one has asked me about it. I do find comfort in wearing my ring though especially when I find myself in uncomfortable situations, it reminds me that I'm not the only one in the world who feels this way. This is the ring I have - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDBMYO8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 Link to post Share on other sites

Robin L Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Redbubble and cafepress have a lot of people who make their own pride gear. You can check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
Bbauthor2 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Out of curiousity, does anybody do the black ring thing to raise ace awareness? I've thought about getting one. I've worn an ace ring for 6 months now, and have encountered two other aces through it. (Mainly when I was cashiering). I saw the ring on the other person's hand, commented on it and asked if it had any special meaning. He looked at me, really shocked, and then he must have seen my own ring because he smiled and said "yeah it's for visibility" then he asked if my ring was the same or for something else and I said "nope it's an ace ring." It was a really cool experience Link to post Share on other sites
UncommonNonsense Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Etsy has a huge number of people selling Pride gear and ace-specific stuff. My own ace pin came from Etsy. I sell stuff there too, and a lot of my stuff is Pride, Queer, Ace, and LGBT+ related. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr No Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Here you go. http://merchandace.com/ do they have things other than ace? or a physical store? Massively overdue response as I've somehow only just seen this thread... and it's the first time I've seen someone other than myself mention Merchandace - thanks! :D The site only mentions ace and aro products - not a physical store, but just a catalogue of what's available out there. I don't actually sell anything - I just point you towards stuff that's available elsewhere, in one convenient easy-to-use catalogue. :) Link to post Share on other sites
krymnon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have also found a lot of stuff on http://www.redbubble.com/recently. I can't vouch for quality and/or delivery times as I haven't shopped there (yet). Anyone have any good/bad experience with redbubble ? Link to post Share on other sites
ChillaKilla Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 lookhuman.com It has a ton of neat stuff- bisexual, gay, trans, nobinary, asexual, aromantic, even demisexual! Link to post Share on other sites
Evren Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have also found a lot of stuff on http://www.redbubble.com/recently. I can't vouch for quality and/or delivery times as I haven't shopped there (yet). Anyone have any good/bad experience with redbubble ? Redbubble's awesome, their shipping is fast and I got exactly what I ordered. It seems to be a great place to get LGBTQ gear, I am going to order a shirt from there before I go to Pride.

Mr No Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yep, and I've catalogued pretty much all the asexual stuff from all those sites in one place on Merchandace. :) Link to post Share on other sites
