Pride 2019
The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ+ Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June in 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the continuing fight for LGBTQ+ equality. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, when New Yorkers rioted in reaction to ongoing police harassment at LGBTQ+ community and social spaces.

So I give the shirts 5 stars, but aim on the cautious side regarding their jeans.

Chill the Shrimp, Damnit!

If it has been out for more than 2 hours, be warned.
