I recently sat down with Rae (they/ them) with Origami Customs to get a walk-through on how to buy custom wear from their store. Origami Customs is a queer and trans-run fashion brand that makes custom gender and body-affirming gear for our queer community.

How do lesbians have sex? It’s an age old question. But the real answers might surprise you.

What does LGBTQIA+ stand for? Let me explain!

What’s the process of coming out as queer? Do we owe heterosexuals an explanation about our sexuality and gender? Is there a better way? Let’s get into it!

What does it mean to live your best queer life? How can you get more queer joy by logging off instead of searching for community online
