Los Angeleans! It’s me, Alex. I’m back to tell you what to do/where to go, etc as usual. This time it’s the Los Angeles Pride edition and I am telling you that if there is one thing to do after the parade this Sunday June 12th in West Hollywood, it’s PYT Productions‘ Pride Party Fundraiser for Revel and Riot.
What is Revel and Riot? Only the coolest (and Autostraddle’s favorite) gay t-shirt makers around:
I have the Harvey Milk shirt. It’s awesome. I wear it all the time.
So let’s go through this again:
1) celebrate Los Angeles gay pride at a fun PYT-made party and
2) Support Revel & Riot by doing so. That’s win/win.
Here are the deets – see you there!

Fml, my first final begins at 7:30 am on Monday.
wish everything wasn’t so expensive (at least for my budget) :(
This. Also my favorite tshirt (i’m gay, you’re gay… in black) is sold out. :(
This is AWESOME. Woah. Amazing shirts that are more design/art-centric than the usual pride shirts. I’ve been looking for this without realizing it. I totally need a “Life Goes By Too Quickly” one because I can subtly wear it and feel awesome.
I juuuust got home for the summer though, to my homophobic parents’ house. :\ Has anyone ordered from them? Do you guys know if the outside order packaging is overtly gay-looking?
well they’re sold through maplemusic, and though i’ve only ordered some tegan and sara t-shirts from them, i cant imagine why r&r would be different. anyway they came in a very plain envelope and on the sticker for customs it just said “tshirt” and “maplemusic”, it didn’t specify it was a tegan and sara shirt, etc.
anybody know: when you RSVP, is it automatically a you+1 deal? or do we have to each do it individually?
Yes, you have to each do it individually. Which is usually no big deal because if you have a smart phone you can drop that email to RSVP and it auto-replies very quickly.
cool. it’s no biggie, i was just wondering cause every now and then it’s a +1 deal and then I feel like an idiot and sometimes it’s not and I feel like an even bigger idiot for not doing it twice for my friend. I wish everyone would just agree on that shit!
anyway, doesn’t matter anymore. everyone seems to be busy with some type of family shite and every time I show up anywhere in WeHo alone I’m stared at like i’m a lonely little alkee. sounds like it’ll be a gay ol’ time.
GOD HATES BAGS made me LOL, not even gonna lie. I definitely dig gay pride T-shirts that aren’t typical rainbow stripes and are a little more discreet, less like you’re on your way to a PFLAG meeting.
Does anyone else know of any other good gay/pride clothing? Rainbow is good, but something creative and rainbow is best. I’m supposed to be finding good merch for this fashion site I work for, but everything I’m finding is either TOO subtle or just zero design work put into it. (If you know fo anything good, will you please write me a note/leave me a comment?)
I like Girl. It’s a skateboard brand that makes men’s t-shirts that give off a gay vibe when worn by a woman. Here are a couple examples. They used to have a t-shirt with their logo and a rainbow over it but that was a while ago. And this still may be too subtle/not gay enough.

I am in love with the LGBTQ shirts.
And they print on American Apparel which fits me like a glove…(yes, I know it has it’s problems, but at least it’s made in the U.S.? justifying self).
I really want several of these.
you caught me on payday, touche
i feel like i need the Ask, Tell shirt. heading into the Navy and as soon as DADT is completely gone, that bitch is being worn. hell, i might even wear it before then, just to get a feel for things…
I want this one too! Though it’ll be way cooler on your because you’ll actually be serving in our armed forces! holy moly.
i dont know about way cooler, but maybe a little ;) ive also got two AS shirts that i’ll be rocking, so.
tater, rock that shit.
oh e, you know i will!
Ooh, I like the LGBTQ one and the GAY GAY GAY one. I was originally just planning on making a shirt that says “Circles are good.”, but this is tempting too…
I have to go to a WEDDING on pride sunday. a straight religious wedding in SIMI VALLEY. ugh. hopefully i will get back in time to stop by haute, but damn how much more of an irritating paradox can that be???
I’m going to The Abbey and the fundraiser tmrw night! Stoked.
Yessssss see you there!
this is the most i’ve ever payed for shipping. worth it.
that part did make me a little sad, but then i bought new undies on amazon to make up for it. I’m either a sucker when it comes to online shopping or autostraddle”s marketing skills went from 0-60 in 5 seconds.
its probably both.
i have a revel & riot t-shirt and it looks really amazing on me
just saying
The ‘Life Goes By Too Quickly’ is very clever, I like!
