Queerky started with a simple question: What happens to Pride when the flags disappear?

I was working at an accessories company, supplying Pride flags to a big retailer. Every year, we had excess inventory, so I donated the surplus to queer organizations. What I heard in return was powerful—and painful. Their flags were constantly being stolen or vandalized. For many, replacing them wasn’t easy. And yet, those flags meant everything. They were more than fabric—they were symbols of safety, identity, and resistance.

Then the retailer stopped carrying Pride flags altogether. The supply vanished, but the demand—the need—only grew louder. That’s when I knew it was time to do something bigger.

I started Queerky—a queer-owned accessories brand with a mission. We create bold, expressive, and proudly queer designs that celebrate identity, spark conversation, and bring joy. From hats and stickers to totes and postcards, our products stand out with purpose.

And at the heart of it all? We use a portion of every sale to donate Pride flags to organizations and businesses who need them. Because visibility shouldn’t come with a price. Because no one should have to fight just to be seen.
