Excited to release the first edition & limited print run of the Pride Glossary Vol. 1 Booklet 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💜✨
tldr; Available now until Dec 15th 🎉
In 2020, I created an online/digital version of the pride glossary as an educational resource for LGBTQ+ youth, allies and anyone else who wanted to learn. When I started my shop, I would visit multiple websites to learn more about each pride flag as I was working on my pride pin collection and although it was very helpful, it was also time consuming and overwhelming to look in various places — plus, not all resources had all of the pride flags. This is part of why I wanted to create a single source that was all inclusive.
To make the Pride Glossary into a zine or book was an idea I explored and took years to figure out whether I wanted to work with a publisher or self-publish. The goal was to create something that was minimal, inclusive, an easy read, and simple enough for anyone to digest. I ended up making a test booklet for my pop-up markets so that folks could learn about the pride flag pins I had.
Over the years, a lot of folks asked if they could purchase my test booklet…fast forward to now, I finally went for it and printed a small batch with ! This first edition has an oopsie though — the back cover was meant to match the front cover but ended up being the Ally Pride Flag page. It still came out great and I’m proud of pushing myself to bring it to life.
It has 33 Pride Flags, is 36 pages, and is in a zine/booklet format for the 1st edition.
While the shop is closed, one of my goals is to expand this into an official book with more information on the pride flags with more art 📖🎨
