This holiGAY season, you can send spirits into orbit with Jonathan Adler’s retro-rad black and 16-karat gold luster porcelain decanters.

These beauties are designed by Mr. Adler, who is a prominent LGBTQ+ voice in our communities.

So whether you're looking to give your favorite scotch or bourbon an out-of-this-world look or just want to make sure all of your guests feel extraterrestrial at your next party, this will do the trick.

When community leader Kendall Clawson took the role as the first Executive Director of Q Center, Oregon's LGBTQ+ community center, she quickly realized the absence of Queer and Trans history in books, so she decided to tell community stories as a top priority at the center. 

She has taken her mission further by writing "A Kids Book About Pride" – for children to learn about the incredible LGBTQ+ people who have played significant roles in American history. 

Kendall's message is clear: having a sense of Pride within and about oneself, especially for kids, is imperative. 

This book will undoubtedly be an excellent addition to your kiddo's library!
