If you’re looking for meaningful gifts this holiday season—or want to treat yourself to something special—Adam’s Nest is the perfect place to shop. This queer-owned brand is much more than just about stylish clothes. They’re about giving back, uplifting the LGBTQ+ community, and keeping the stories of our icons alive. Supporting Adam’s Nest isn’t just shopping; it’s a way to feel great while doing good.
The most important thing to highlight is that Adam’s Nest is truly making a difference. To date, they’ve given over $90,000 back to LGBTQ+ charities. Their team donates 10% of each sale to the organization mentioned on the product’s page, so you have some say in who benefits from your purchase.
One of the most wonderful things Adam’s Nest does is their ongoing work with The AIDS Memorial. Their team has said, “It is an endeavor that is our way of giving back to the community and honoring all those we lost, those living with, and those who fought and continue to fight to end AIDS.” That commitment runs deep throughout their work. So many lives and stories were lost at the height of the AIDS epidemic, and Adam’s Nest is helping fill that void left by the absence of so many queer elders by offering clothes that evoke empathy, conversation, and our shared history.
Gay icon David Wojnarowicz, a fearless activist who called out the government’s inaction during the AIDS crisis, is more than just featured on Adam’s Nest apparel—he’s celebrated. By merging his legacy and imagery with modern fashion, Adam’s Nest keeps his voice alive and honors everyone impacted by AIDS. Pieces like Silence = Death T-Shirt supporting the Ali Forney Center featuring the bold pink triangle—a powerful symbol of resilience and a reminder of how much work remains to be done. The many designs offered like this highlight how this brand uses its platform to educate, honor, and advocate. Their website even offers an in-depth tribute to Wojnarowicz, detailing how his activism inspires their work today.
Adam’s Nest is about more than just cool clothes, though they are definitely stylish and eye-catching. Slip on one of their designs, and you’re bound to get compliments. Whether it’s a design featuring two women or two men kissing, or something inspired by queer resistance movements, you will find something gay and great. Adam’s Nest offers statement-making pieces that show your support for the LGBTQ+ community while looking fabulous.
Adam’s Nest supports a variety of charities to drive meaningful change, allowing you to shop with purpose. In fact, you can even browse their collections based on which charity your purchase will benefit. These include impactful organizations like A4TE (Advocates for Trans Equality), Ali Forney Center, ASGCC, COLAGE, Equality Florida, Gays Against Guns, Indivisible, Leslie-Lohman Museum, NYC AIDS Memorial, ONE Institute, Planned Parenthood, Rainbow Railroad, Summer of Sass, The Center, The Trevor Project, and many more. Adam’s Nest has been helping underserved communities and providing great apparel since 2016.
Their impressive range of collections is worth celebrating, too. From products for Bears and Pride-themed designs to their popular ‘Queer Gear’ collection supporting the Trevor Project, there’s something for everyone. And it’s not just clothing—you’ll also find accessories like hats, jewelry, patches, stickers, and every gay’s favorite must-have: a stylish tote bag. Some designs are funny and conversation-starting, and others have an important message ready to be shared.
The holidays are the perfect time to grab a cozy sweatshirt or a thoughtful gift for someone you love. Inclusivity is a core part of Adam’s Nest—there are options to fit every body type, with designs that resonate across the spectrum of queer identities and experiences. And every purchase helps. With over $90,000 raised for LGBTQ+ charities since 2016, Adam’s Nest is making a tangible impact. They’ve shipped more than 25,000 t-shirts to 19 countries,.
Adam’s Nest isn’t just about clothing. They champion preserving our stories and educating the next generation of LGBTQ+ youth on the icons and activists who’ve shaped our community. Shopping here is more than just retail therapy—it’s a way to show solidarity and celebrate our resilience. With the holiday season approaching, take this as a chance to show your allyship and support to a queer person in your life. Especially if you know an older gay person, they will really appreciate the attention to LGBTQ+ history that Adam’s Nest is shining a spotlight on.
This winter, grab a warm sweatshirt or a bold tee that tells a story. You’ll not only look awesome but also support a brand that gives back to the community. Adam’s Nest proves that fashion can be a force for change. Solidarity has never looked so stylish!
