It's Pride Month once again, a time to support and celebrate LGBTQ+ creatives, businesses and artists. From queer TTRPGs to slutty playing card decks and must-read pride anthologies, here are a small list of LGBTQ+ Kickstarter campaigns that you can back right now:
Wrath Month is the book of queer rage. There's a lot of reasons to be angry right now, so we're smashing into Pride 2025 with a gang of radical queer writers and a brand new anthology. We're channeling our fury into a new collection of biting, blood-splattered stories at the cutting edge of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It's time to kick down the doors of convention and release: vengeful lesbian witches, antifascist mutants, transfem superheroes and a whole lot more.
Beneath the Blossom Tree is a queer and cozy fantasy story. It’s perfect to read on a beautiful, sunny day (which are always great for reading). If you like books like Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers, you'll probably like this story too!

Jin Queen In Search Of The Chloroqueer is a glittery queer french animated film project that celebrates the gay community in all its glory. From Twinks to Bears, from Fetishists to Puppies, prepare to dive into an epic world populated by likes, butts, and love.
Returning readers will love this volume’s explorations of each character’s history and personality, but it won’t leave new readers out in the cold! Don't be afraid to dive right into Book Two’s funny, sexy, and accident-prone characters and their ridiculous hijinks in this fantasy adventure steeped in heartfelt snark. Above all, Real Hero Shit: Harder Than It Looks is a story driven by the journey of discovery, reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and it’s perfect for readers who prefer imperfect heroes who make mistakes along the way.

Strange New Places are a Belfast-based queer power-punk band and they're looking for help to press their queerpunk debut album, Second Puberty, to vinyl! They've been working on the album for the past five years and they're incredibly proud of it, but making vinyl isn't cheap and they need a hand to cover the initial outlay of printing. "We want it to be available on vinyl, not just for us, but for everyone who values the sound, the ritual, and the art of Big Plastic Discs of sound."
£1000 would get them to a point where they can cover the rest.

This isn't your grandma's deck of cards... well, not yet! It's a celebration of queer culture, kink, drag, and joy. All 54 cards and the box were illustrated by Rory Midhani, a trans*, Berlin-based multimedia artist.
Each suit struts:
♣️ Clubs in Clubwear
♦️ Diamonds in drag
♠️ Spades in Leather
♥️ Hearts in.. nothing at all, they’re naked!
A new character joins the party on each card, for a total of 54 lovable lil' queer characters across the deck. It’s the kind of deck that makes your poker night a little sexier, your gift-giving a little queerer, and your bookshelf a whole lot more fabulous.

In a world that continues to threaten queer existence, amplified visibility (especially joyful visibility) is everything. This book is a love letter to queer folks everywhere, it is a soft rebellion against hate, a reminder to youth that they are not alone, and a tool to counter the tired excuse: "I've just never met a queer person." Well, here we are, over 100 of us, smiling right at you.
