It is not my place to decide who should wear what colors. Self expression is so important. It makes us unique, so who am I to say what colors are assigned to which genders?
One important part of the Pittsburgh MasQUe ProjecT is highlighting safe and affirming places for trans and queer folx to purchase masks. In addition to this Q&A series, we maintain a list on the project homepage. This Q&A was crafted to highlight some unique aspects of the participating businesses and explore related issues, including the manifestation of racial justice in the LGBTQIA+ community and the real struggles of running a small business in this economy.
Next up is Lori Korchok with Goblin Girl Designs. I learned about her face masks from a friend and have purchased dozens for us and to give away as gifts. Lori is a pet lover who taught herself to make face masks to respond to the need. Support a business owned by a disabled woman who is a good ally to the LGBTQIA community. Lori doesn’t like labels, but it is imperative that we understand who is stepping forward to respond to this crisis and creating safe opportunities for LGBTQIA+ neighbors.
