Happy Pride Month!
Accessories by Antoinette would like to wish everyone a safe and happy pride month!
Pride month is important for us to commemorate. Unfortunately, it's not all about rainbow parades and parties. Pride month also serves as a reminder for all that was lost to achieve what we have today. It's important to reflect on history and remember that politicians didn't give the community rights, but the community fought for them, which was particularly spearheaded by the Stonewall riots (in 1969).
​
It's important to reflect on our roots so we can better work towards a future of inclusivity and freedom.
​
As an aroace (asexual and aromantic) trans person, I strive for inclusivity.
What does this mean?
I strive to include numerous flags in our products. Our range currently includes a range of rainbow flags and flags to represent sexualities, genders and aspec (asexual and aromantic spectrum) identities.
​
Unfortunately, I am one person and one person alone making these accessories, and alas there are only 24 hours in the day. There are still some flags I have not added to existing products.
​
While I work on adding more flags to our store, commissions are always available for no extra charge! I believe no one should have to pay more for their flag, no matter the colours or the number of stripes.
​
I also have zero tolerance for any form of homophobia, transphobia, aphobia or any hate towards other identities. Slurs of any kind, homophobia, transphobia, etc. are promptly removed from social media to minimize any harm.
​
Thankfully, we have a very respectful, supportive and understanding community! :)
​
I encourage respectful questions about identities and I am happy to answer whatever I can! I can't speak for the entire community, and I am always learning from others' shared experiences. That's what having a community is all about, after all!

I want to make the process to shop your flags as easy as possible!
Due to my website editor's photo limit (thanks, Wix), I have to divide our pride products into four catergories: Rainbows, sexualities, genders and aspec identities.
Dividing them means you get more photos of the flags and ensures I can include ALL the flags for you to browse!
Rainbow: Six-Striped Rainbow Flag, Original Pride Flag, Philadelphia Pride Flag
Sexualities: Bisexual, lesbian, polysexual, pansexual
Genders: Agender, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex, nonbinary, transgender
Aspec: Aroace, aromantic, asexual, demiromantic, demisexual, greyromantic, greysexual, lithromantic/lithsexual
I have written a 'Definitions' page!
Pride is all about learning, and I want to help contribute to that. I have made an A-Z list detailing general definitions to identities and some other helpful terminology!
