In 2021, I got a DM from a jeweler designer named Laura Stuart. She reached out, asking for some feedback on a couple of jewelry designs.
She was creating some pieces that she was designing at the request of a grandmother whose grandson was being bullied at school for being gay, and the grandmother wanted Laura's help in designing something that would symbolize her pride and allyship.
The story behind those necklaces is such a great story of a grandmother who wanted to support her grandson, and of Laura herself, who is an absolute ally.
As we start Pride month, this is such a great topic because the question that I get a lot from friends and family members is, "Can I wear a rainbow if I'm not gay?" My answer is: YES! Your allyship and support are always welcomed, in my opinion, and I hope this episode will encourage you to wear your support for your lgbtq+ loved one.
